Thanks 1.The Last Days of Mankind first translation of Karl Kraus's major work will introduce the American public to a writer unique in world literature. The Last Days of Mankind, his masterpiece, and like its author almost unknown to English-speaking audiences, is probably the most powerful antiwar drama of the twentieth century. Written during World War I, when Kraus's was almost a lone voice raised against the general war enthusiasm, The Last Days of Mankind speaks to today's readers as if from the more recent past. Karl Kraus (1874-1936) had a profound influence on leading members of the Vienna circle in the first third of this century— a group that included such seminal thinkers and artists as Freud, Wittgenstein, Buber, Schonberg, and Klimt. Growing interest in Wittgenstein's linguistic theories has underscored his debt to Kraus, for, as George Steiner recently noted, "without Kraus, Wittgenstein's philosophy might well have been nonexistent." Kraus himself has remained little known in this country because his works have generally been thought to be untranslatable. The Last Days of Mankind, for example, is tied to an extraordinary degree to the Viennese style and language which Kraus captured so well. 2.NO COMPROMISE Selected Writings of Karl Kraus Sharing Widget |
