Description ▲

Richard von Schaukal (1874-1942) belongs to the generation of Viennese writers who introduced Modernism into Austrian literature. A civil servant by profession, Schaukal left an oeuvre of poetry, prose, essays and many translations into German from French and English. -- The present volume is the most noteworthy treatment of Dandyism, a firework of witticisms, episodes and striking observations.
