Course objectives

Prague was always an important centre of Jewish culture in Central Europe. The ancient Jewish stories from Prague are "Sippurim" (edited in the middle of the 19th century). Leopold Kompert, the author of the first stories about the Jewish ghetto, and Fritz Mauthner, the first systematic critic of the language, were students in Prague. Authors as Wiener, Weiss, Baum, Brod, Pick, Winder, Kornfeld, Ungar, Natonek of Grab are foreshadowed by Kafka and Werfel but they form a necessary background for a good knowledge of the German literature from Prague. After 1945 H. G. Adlers novel "Eine Reise" and Leo Perutz' "Nachts unter der steinernen Brücke" are the swan-song of the Jewish literature from Prague.
