About the author

Karl Wolfskehl was a German Jewish author and translator. He wrote poetry, prose and drama in German, and translated from French, English, Italian, Hebrew, Latin and Old/Middle High German into German. He developed a lasting friendship with the poet Stefan George and was a leading figure in the poet's circle of friends and followers, and also formed a part of the short-lived Munich Cosmic Circle around 1900. Holding a jour fixe at his house in Schwabing Wolfskehl became a central personality in the literary life of Munich in the first two decades of the 20th century. In 1938, due to the rapprochement between Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, he moved to New Zealand, where he lived until his death.
