Rudolf Huch

He also produced a number of educational novels. A theme to which he returned repeatedly in his writing was upward social mobility from the ranks of the provincial petty bourgeoisie. He is sometimes identified in sources by his pseudonym as "A. Schuster". Life Provenance and early years Rudolf Huch was born in Porto Alegre, but spent most of his childhood and indeed of his adult life in and around the Braunschweig region of Germany.

Writers From Dresden
A writer is a person who uses written words in different writing styles and techniques to communicate ideas. Writers produce different forms of literary art and creative writing such as novels, short stories, books, poetry, travelogues, plays, screenplays, teleplays, songs, and essays as well as other reports and news articles that may be of interest to the general public. Writers' texts are published across a wide range of media. Skilled writers who are able to use language to express ideas well, often contribute significantly to the cultural content of a society. The term "writer" is also used elsewhere in the arts and music, such as songwriter or a screenwriter, but also a stand-alone "writer" typically refers to the creation of written language. Some writers work from an oral tradition. Writers can produce material across a number of genres, fictional or non-fictional. Other writers use multiple media such as graphics or illustration to enhance the communication of th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dresden
Dresden (, ; Upper Saxon: ''Dräsdn''; wen, label=Upper Sorbian, Drježdźany) is the capital city of the German state of Saxony and its second most populous city, after Leipzig.

Felix Huch
Felix Huch (6 September 1880 - 6 July 1952) was a German Physician who worked in the public health service. By the time he retired he had reached the level of an "Obermedizinalrat" (''Loosely, "Chief Medical Consultant"''). He was also a passionate amateur musician and musicologist: in middle age he embarked on a parallel second career as a writer of biographical novels about musicians. Huch was completely aware of the challenges involved for writers and readers (including critics) of biographical novels dealing with iconic figures from the past. But as he himself wrote in respect of his 1927 book on "The young Beethoven", "what is ... reported to us is relatively sparse. That is why the imagination has to do most of the work if the name is to become a living image of Beethoven's young manhood, along with a full and living picture of his human and artistic development are to emerge". Whatever reservations purists might harbour, Huch's "bio-novels" on Mozart and Beethov ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
