1.The Last
Days of Mankind

first translation of Karl Kraus's major
work will introduce the American public to
a writer unique in world literature. The Last
Days of Mankind, his masterpiece, and like
its author almost unknown to English-speaking
audiences, is probably the most powerful
antiwar drama of the twentieth century.
Written during World War I, when Kraus's
was almost a lone voice raised against the
general war enthusiasm, The Last Days of
Mankind speaks to today's readers as if
from the more recent past.
Karl Kraus (1874-1936) had a profound
influence on leading members of the
Vienna circle in the first third of this century—
a group that included such seminal
thinkers and artists as Freud, Wittgenstein,
Buber, Schonberg, and Klimt. Growing interest
in Wittgenstein's linguistic theories has
underscored his debt to Kraus, for, as
George Steiner recently noted, "without
Kraus, Wittgenstein's philosophy might well
have been nonexistent." Kraus himself has
remained little known in this country because
his works have generally been thought
to be untranslatable. The Last Days of Mankind,
for example, is tied to an extraordinary
degree to the Viennese style and language
which Kraus captured so well.
