About the author
Karl Emil Franzos (1848–1904) was an Austrian novelist and journalist, born in Chortkiv, Galicia. His fiction draws largely on life in the Jewish towns of Eastern Europe, depicting the customs, human relationships and hardships of Jewish communities with a realistic touch; his works combine literary quality with social observation. His representative works include The Jews of Barnow, Judith Trachtenberg and Der Pojaz, as well as novels such as For the Right and The Chief Justice. He is regarded as an important figure in nineteenth-century German-Austrian Jewish literature, and his writings offer a vivid and valuable literary record of the Galician Jewish world. Public information on his early education and professional career is limited, and scholarly attention to him centers mainly on the novels mentioned above.
