   Extractions: Karl Kraus (1874-1936) Austrian satirist, essayist, aphorist, playwright, and poet. Karl Kraus is considered the foremost satirists of the 20th century in German language. His most important play is the pacifist Die letzten Tage der Menschheit (1915-1919), which rose from his reaction to World War I. For his rarely performed magnum opus Kraus was three times nominated by French academicians for a Nobel Prize in Literature. "In every situation, in joy or sadness, outwardly and inwardly, a woman needs the mirror." (from Dicta and Contradicta Kraus attended the gymnasium and after graduating in 1893, he studied law at the University of Vienna without much enthusiasm. He attended only philosophical and literary lectures. Kraus's shoulders were slightly deformed, and due to his congenital abnormality, he did not serve in the army. At eighteen, Kraus started to publish book and theater reviews in Viennese and German newspapers and periodicals. Theatre had fascinated Kraus from his youth, but after failing miserably as an actor in Schiller's The Robbers , Kraus only gave public readings - between 1892 and 1936 he had about seven hundred one-man performances. He read among others from the dramas of Bertolt Brecht, Gerhart Hauptmann, Johann Nestroy, Goethe, and Shakespeare. He also performed Offenbach's operettas, accompanied by piano and singing himself all the roles.

His works, which are almost untranslatably idiomatic, include Morality and Criminality (an essay collection, 1908), Proverbs and Contradictions (a collection of aphorisms, 1909), and The Last Days of Humanity (a lengthy satirical drama, 1922). document.writeln(AAMB2); More on "Karl Kraus" from the 32 Volume Kraus, Karl - Austrian journalist, critic, playwright, and poet who has been compared with Juvenal and Jonathan Swift for his satiric vision and command of language.

In 1899, he founded the magazine “The Torch”, which became an always conscience and engaging institution, appearing from 1911 with only his own contributions until the year of his death. Besides brilliant aphorisms, lyric poetry and essays, Kraus also wrote dramas, including his epic masterwork “The Last Days of Mankind,” which tells a relentless story of the crimes of WWI. In 1911 Trakl, who was an eager reader of Kraus long before, first came into the reach of him through mutual friend Karl Hauer , who was a frequent contributor to Kraus' magazine “The Torch.” In 1912, when Trakl began to publish poems consistently in the magazine Der Brenner, the connection between the publishers Ficker and Kraus intensified, as Ficker organized several lecture evenings in Innsbruck with Kraus. “Psalm”, the second Trakl poem in Der Brenner (appearing October 1912) is dedicated to him.

In 1910 the first reading of Kraus's work was held in Berlin. This was followed by approximately seven hundred other readings in different European cities, where the work of other authors was read—William Shakespeare, Johann Nestroy, Frank Wedekind, Jacques Offenbach—some of which had been translated and adapted by Kraus.

    Extractions: February 2004 This book of readings of Karl Kraus’ work is in three parts. First there is a series of essays, then a number of poems and more than half the book is a set of excerpts from his long ”drama” The Last Days of Mankind, a satirical condemnation of World War I. While the selection from play The Last Days of Mankind is the last part of the book (pages 159-259) this 100 pages were my favorite part of this book readings, thus I will discuss it first. It is simply brilliant and bitter satire, an attack on World War I, especially on Austria’s role in it and what the war has done to Austrian society. Ostensibly it is a play, but in the prologue Kraus tells us that the “play” would take ten evenings to stage and was meant to be performed on Mars, not on Earth. Like much satire a great deal of the power and humor of it comes in exaggeration. But it is in the exaggeration itself in which lots of clarity and questions arise. The very fact of the exaggeration points a finger back at the (lesser) reality, and via the exaggeration the events and practices of the war come into question.
