Beschreibung

In "For the Right," Karl Emil Franzos skillfully weaves a compelling narrative that intertwines themes of justice, identity, and moral conflict within the rich tapestry of 19th-century Europe. Written with a keen psychological insight and a distinctive realism that characterizes Franzos'Äôs style, this novel immerses readers in the life of its complex protagonist who grapples with societal expectations and personal convictions. The prose is marked by vivid descriptions and emotional depth, reflecting the socio-political landscape of the time and offering a poignant commentary on the struggles between individual rights and communal obligations. Karl Emil Franzos, a pivotal figure in the Austrian literary scene, was deeply influenced by his Jewish heritage and the tumultuous historical events surrounding him, including the rise of nationalism and anti-Semitism. His experiences as a writer navigating the intricate dynamics of culture and identity in a fragmented society profoundly shaped his literary voice. "For the Right" emerges from this context, embodying not only personal introspection but also a broader dialogue about ethical dilemmas faced by individuals in a changing world. This novel is highly recommended for readers interested in profound character studies and the socio-political undercurrents of 19th-century literature. Franzos'Äôs exploration of moral integrity and societal pressures invites reflection on contemporary issues of justice and belonging, making it a timeless read for those who seek to understand the complexities of human nature and the pursuit of righteousness.

Autor

Karl Emil Franzos was a popular late-nineteenth-century Austrian novelist. His reportage and fiction focus on the multi-ethnic corner of Galicia, Podolia, and Bukovina, which is now primarily in western Ukraine, where the Habsburg and Russian empires collided. This place became so synonymous with his name that one critic dubbed it "Franzos country." Several of his writings were translated into English, and Gladstone is known to have been a fan. Karl Emil Franzos was born near the town of Czortk w (Chortkiv) in the Austrian Kingdom of Galicia's eastern, Podolian area. His ancestors were Sephardi Spanish Jews who fled the Inquisition to Holland and eventually settled in Lorraine. In the 1770s, his great-grandfather founded a factory for one of his sons in East Galicia, which had been ruled by the Habsburg dynasty since Poland's First Partition in 1772. When the Austrian state ordered Jews to acquire surnames, his grandfather's name was changed to "Franzos" because of his French ancestry, despite the fact that he considered himself German. Heinrich (1808-1858), Franzos's father, was a well-known doctor in Czortk w. Because there was no state called "Germany" at the time, his German identity was primarily linguistic and cultural in nature.
