His educational background included the Maria-Magdalenen-Gymnasium in Breslau, followed by the study of philosophy at the University of Berlin, where he was influenced by the works of Hegel and the historicist school of thought. Eckstein's writing style blends eruditely crafted plots with intriguing character development, woven into the fabric of historical settings, hallmarks of his literary genius. 'Quintus Claudius', set in Ancient Rome during the reign of Emperor Domitian, is a fine example of his ability to create compelling and historically rich narratives. The book not only entertained readers but also provided an insightful look into the political and social dynamics of the Roman Empire.
