About the author

Egon Friedell (1878 - 1938) was a prominent Austrian philosopher, historian, journalist, actor, cabaret performer, and theatre critic. Described as a polymath, he took his own life shortly after the Nazis annexed Austria, jumping out of his apartment's window when the SA came to arrest him.
