Publisher's Synopsis
Der Literat oder Mythos und Persönlichkeit by Jakob Wassermann, originally published in 1910, delves into the intricate relationship between the author, their personal experiences, and the myths they create within their literary works. Wassermann examines how an author's personality shapes their writing and how, in turn, their writing contributes to the construction of their public persona. This work offers a fascinating insight into the literary landscape of early 20th century Germany and the evolving understanding of the writer's role in society. It explores themes of identity, creativity, and the interplay between reality and fiction.
