Excerpt from Else Von Der Tanne: Eine ErzählungLife. On the fifteenth day of his favorite month, N ovember, in the year 1910, passed away Wilhelm Raabe. Nine years before, all Braunschweig and all Germany had united to celebrate his seventieth anniversary, though he cared nought for celebrations, to do him honor, though he cared not for honor, for he had lived by himself and for himself to the extent that he had published no reminiscences, no letters, no interviews, practically no collections, had attached to himself no coterie, had lived for thirty years in Braunschweig as practically its sole man of letters. Yet his in¿uence has been among the most powerful on the writers of the present day. It is acknowledged by Gustav Frenssen, today the most popular writer of the German Roman. Raabe's biographer and inti mate f riend, Wilhelm Brandes, critic and poet, main tains that Raabe, if any writer of his time, is leading the way to the future of German literature. And Brandes, perhaps one of the keenest critics in Ger many today, is by no means alone in his judgment.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
