Paul Keller

    July 6, 1873 – August 20, 1932

    Paul Keller was a German writer and publicist whose works achieved immense popularity in the first half of the 20th century, evidenced by over 5 million copies sold and translations into 17 languages. His earlier works are lauded for their artistic power and mastery, while later writings show a degree of simplification. Keller is described as a Silesian regional author whose novels, originating in the late Naturalist period, unsparingly depict human frailty and harsh fates. Yet, in line with Keller's Christian worldview, his writing also consistently offers positive perspectives and examples of meaningful life. His prose is noted for its coziness and its aim to evoke emotion in the reader.

      Ein Winter auf dem Land

      Eine romantische Komödie: Im Jahre 1899 möchte der "Herr Doktor" den ganzen Winter auf dem Land verbringen. Auf einer Burg beim Baron möchte er endlich mal seine Ruhe haben: »Mochten sie hundert Boten senden, sie würden mich nicht finden; mochten sie tausend Briefe hinter mir herschicken, sie würden mich nicht erreichen. Der elektrische Funke selbst würde mich nicht einholen.« »Ich wollte nicht tanzen müssen, wenn ich nach Einsamkeit dürstete und nicht einsam durch menschengefüllte Straßen irren, wenn ich einen Freund suchte. Ich wollte keinem Weibe begegnen, dass mich zum Schwiegersohn wünschte und keine andere sehen, die ich vergeblich begehren würde. Ich wollte nicht Skat spielen, ich wollte auf der Eisbahn keinen Stuhlschlitten schieben, ich wollte keine Besuche machen, ich wollte meine Wirtin nicht jammern hören, ich wollte nicht halbe Nächte lang im Café sitzen, ich wollte – ja richtig: ich wollte keine Zeitungen lesen.«
