Otto Ludwig (writer)
Otto Ludwig (February 11, 1813 – February 25, 1865) was a German dramatist, novelist and critic born in Eisfeld in Thuringia. He was one of Germany's first modern realists and one of the most notable dramatists of the period. Biography His father, who was syndic of Eisfeld, died when he was twelve years old, and he was brought up amidst uncongenial conditions. He had devoted his leisure time to poetry and music, which unfitted him for the mercantile career planned for him.

Of the latter, ''Der Erbförster'' ''(The Hereditary Forester)'' (1850) attracted immediate attentio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
