Book Description
"Through the polemical and satirical magazine Die Fackel (the torch), which he founded in 1899, Kraus launched wicked but unrelentingly witty attacks on literary and media corruption, sexual repression, militarism, and the social hypocrisy of fin-de-siecle Vienna. His barbed aphorisms were an essential part of his running commentary on Viennese culture."--BOOK JACKET.
