About the Author
Ricarda Huch (1864 -1947) was a ground-breaking German historian, novelist and philosopher. As one of the first women to study at the University in Zurich, she received her doctorate in Philosophy and History in 1892. She authored numerous works on European history. She also wrote novels, poems, and a play. Der Letzte Sommer (The Last Summer) was first published in 1910. In 1926 she was the first female writer to be admitted to the Prussian Academy of Arts. She won from Thomas Mann the title: 'The First Lady of Germany' - and even had an asteroid named in her honour.
Review
'She is the First Lady of Germany. No, she is probably the First Lady of Europe.' THOMAS MANN; 'The very model of the stylish female troublemaker...a social revolutionary in the deepest sense.' CLIVE JAMES
