Amerikanus; amerikanusche lichtbilder, Author: Eulenberg, Herbert, 1876-1949 -Wien, Thyrsos-verlag, 1924 ABOUT THE AUTHOR -- Under the rule of the National Socialists , his dramas were banned, his books were no longer allowed to be printed or sold. He withstood threats from party members who continually denounced the pacifists and democrats as "red-haired Jews"; Probably only his great fame saved him from being sent to a concentration camp. When his glosses, which were written under pseudonyms, were no longer wanted by the Düsseldorf daily Der Mittag , he relied on the financial support of friends in order not to have to ingratiate himself. He wrote new dramas (in the old style) for the drawer. After the Second World War Eulenberg was a permanent employee of the magazines Aufbau and Die Weltbühne . In 1948 he received the Heinrich Heine Prize from the Hamburg Heinrich Heine Society for his Heinrich Heine biography . In the Kulturbund for the democratic renewal of Germany he was committed to the development of a cultural program for the bombed Düsseldorf. In 1949 he (with several other people) received the newly created National Prize of the GDR .... 1925, Meyers Lexikon [3] issued Eulenberg as one of the "most fertile and most frequently performed stage poets of the present". Similarly, the lexicon of German-speaking writers (from the former GDR) [4] formulates that Eulenberg was "one of the most frequently performed authors on the German stage before 1933". According to Bernd Kortländer , this statement is quite bold. The breakthrough as a playwright longed for by Eulenberg throughout his life was never granted to the fun-loving Rhinelander. "As early as 1911, the critics noted that he would go down in history as the German author with the most premieres and the fewest performances." With the exception of his three essay volumes, shadow images...The sale of Eulenberg's literary products had largely come to a standstill "in the mid-1920s"; "The German theaters ignore his dramas; the great successes go back a long time. He earns his living with bread-and-butter work: forewords, editorships, reviews and small feature articles. "Even as a novelist and poet, he had at best achieved notable successes. In his novel Um den Rhein from 1927, which was largely panned by literary criticism, the characters with the "speaking names" (for example "Unruh" and "Wohlleben") piled up "cliché upon cliché".Book is in acceptable condition blue boards are sun faded at the edges.
