I Was a German - The Autobiography of Ernst Toller by Ernst Toller

This is the fascinating autobiography of Ernst Toller. Ernst Toller (1893 - 1939) was a German left-wing playwright, best known for his expressionist plays. He also famously served for six days in 1919 as the President of the short-lived Bavarian Soviet Republic, later being imprisoned for his actions. This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in twentieth-century European history. Contents include: Childhood, A Student in France, War, At the Front, An Attempt to Forget Revolt, Strike, The Military Prison, The Lunatic Asylum, Revolution, The Bavarian Soviet Republic, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

Ernst Toller was a formative figure in the development of theatrical modernism, yet his plays have not been available in English since the 1920s and 30s. He was also a revolutionary activist who experienced fully the unbearable cataclysms of his time: war, revolution, imprisonment, the chaos of Weimar life, Nazi persecution, exile and the Holocaust.
