Das himmlische Licht: Gedichte

Ludwig Rubiner

Ludwig Rubiner was a German poet, literary critic and essayist, generally seen as a representative of the expressionist movement that originated in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century. His most important works include a manifesto entitled, "Der Dichter greift in die Politik" and a stage-drama, "Die Gewaltlosen", which he dedicated to "dem Kameraden, meiner Frau Frida". His "Kriminalsonetten" have even led to his being seen by some as a prophet of Dadaism.
