description: Rear cover "No hypocrisy or lunacy of early twentieth-century Europe was safe from the biting satire of Karl Kraus. A contemporary of Freud, Musil, and Wittgenstein, Kraus was one of the most influential figures of his day. From 1899 to 1936, his acerbic and fiercely independent journal, Die Fackel (The Torch), exposed the foolishness and sentimentality of the age."
