Quote from this book "In 1862, a talented lawyer names Jean Baptists von Schweitzer (1834-1875) joined the workers' movement in his native Hessen. A writer of some note -- he was later to become editor of the journal Sozialdemokrat (Social Democrat) and the author of a number of valuable works of socialist propaganda -- Schweitzer was welcomed as a valuable addition to the growing movement. If his new colleagues were thoroughly acquainted with his past, they may have known that in 1858 Schweitzer had published a four-act comedy entitled Alcibiades oder Bilder aus Hellas (Alcibiades, or Pictures from Hellas), a play which contained some strikingly realistic references to Greek love. But Schweitzer was noted primarily as a writer who could depict the social life of various social classes with keen insight: it was his novel Lucinde oder Kapital und Arbeit (Lucinda, or Capital and Labor) which had first brough him to the attention of the movement's leader, Ferdinand Lassalle, and Schweitzer's propriety was unchallenged." opening paragraph, Chapter I, The End of Invisibility 1862 - 1870 Secondhand booksellers |
