Karl Kraus stands as a towering figure in European satire, often hailed as the first major satirist on the continent since Jonathan Swift. His incisive wit and critical lens were primarily directed towards the press, the state of German culture, and the political landscapes of Germany and Austria. Through his multifaceted work as a writer, journalist, playwright, and poet, Kraus wielded aphorisms and essays as powerful tools to dissect and critique the society of his time, leaving an indelible mark on literary and journalistic discourse.

"Now available in English for the first time, Austrian satirist and polemicist Karl Kraus's Third Walpurgis Night was written in immediate response to the Nazi seizure of power in 1933 but withheld from publication for fear of reprisals against Jews trapped in Germany. Acclaimed when finally published by Kösel Verlag in 1952, it is a devastatingly prescient exposure, giving special attention to the regime's corruption of language as masterminded by Joseph Goebbels. Bertolt Brecht wrote to Kraus that, in his indictment of Nazism, "You have disclosed the atrocities of intonation and created an ethics of language." This masterful translation, by the prizewinning translators of Kraus's The Last Days of Mankind, aims for clarity where Kraus had good reason to be cautious and obscure"-- Provided by publisher
Conceived 'for a theatre on Mars', Kraus' apocalyptic tragedy 'The Last Days of Mankind' is the longest play ever written. A bitingly satirical commentary on the horrors of WWI, it employs a collage of modernist techniques to evoke a despairing vision of the Great War from the perspective of Kraus' hometown, Vienna.
Kraus's iconic WWI drama, a satirical indictment of the glory of war, now in English in its entirety for the first time
100 years ago, the Viennese satirist Karl Kraus was among the most penetrating and prophetic writers in Europe: a relentless critic of the popular media's manipulation of reality, the dehumanizing machinery of technology and consumerism, and the jingoistic rhetoric of a fading empire. But even though his followers included Franz Kafka and Walter Benjamin, he remained something of a lonely prophet, and few people today are familiar with his work. Thankfully, Jonathan Franzen is one of them. In 'The Kraus Project', Franzen not only presents and annotates his definitive new translations of Kraus, with supplementary notes from the Kraus scholar Paul Reitter and the Austrian writer Daniel Kehlmann. In Franzen Kraus has found his match: a novelist unafraid to voice unpopular opinions strongly, a critic capable of untangling Kraus's often dense arguments.

Der 1908 erstmals erschienene Band „Sittlichkeit und Kriminalität“ faßt gesellschafts- und zeitkritische Beiträge des Wiener Satirikers (1874-1936) zu dem im Titel zum Ausdruck kommenden Themenkomplex zusammen. Sie sind zuvor zwischen 1902 und 1907 in der Zeitschrift „Die Fackel“ erschienen, die der Schriftsteller seit 1899 herausgegeben hat. In diesem Werk wird der staatliche und gesellschaftliche Umgang mit Formen sozial abweichenden Verhaltens, die im weitesten Sinne die Sexual- und Moralsphäre tangieren, zum Objekt einer von satirischer und polemischer Lust und Schärfe, vor allem aber Sprachbesessenheit getragenen Kritik. Der vorliegende Band bietet mit den Kommentaren zweier renommierter Wissenschaftler - eines literaturwissenschaftlichen und eines juristischen - die Möglichkeit, sich diesem Werk in seinem für beide Wissenschaften relevanten Gehalt analytisch zu nähern.
