More about the book
The life and work of Else Lasker-Schüler reveal a unique blend of personal tragedy and artistic flamboyance. Known for her striking costumes and presence in Berlin's cafés, she infused her poetry with themes of sexuality and spirituality, challenging conventional norms. While often dismissed as decadent, her work is reexamined as a form of iconoclasm, reflecting emotional depth and aligning with the cultural zeitgeist of her time, including the influence of Sarah Bernhardt and Freud's theories on sexuality.
