Lion Feuchtwanger’s 1925 novel Jud Süss
An introduction to Lion Feuchtwanger in English translation
· INFORMATIONAL PORTAL IN COLLABORATION WITH THE FEUCHTWANGER MEMORIAL LIBRARY AND THE INTERNATIONAL FEUCHTWANGER SOCIETY · This site is for English-speaking researchers, journalists (including incoming Feuchtwanger Fellows at Villa Aurora · Thomas Mann House), students and general readers who want a brief introduction to the work of Lion Feuchtwanger. Each post contains information in English about a recent conference, book, article, or other item of interest, as well as links to further reading and video content. There is particular emphasis on the novels which thematize the rise of National Socialism, namely Success, The Oppermanns and Paris Gazette. The site opens up avenues of inquiry for English speakers interested in the 1918-1945 period of German literature and social history. The posts on the first page cover the arguably most significant Lion Feuchtwanger works from the 1918-1945 period; the posts on the second page provide biographical background. This site is written and operated by Dr. Adrian Feuchtwanger (certified language professional and copywriter, International Feuchtwanger Society Executive Committee member, and a great-nephew of Lion Feuchtwanger; for bio, see www.feuchtwanger.com). It is for non-profit educational purposes only.
