Condition: Good. As early as the 1920s?but particularly in the decade?s closing years?Fuchs was involved in the socialist and, above all, the antifascist movement, becoming, among other things, chair of the League for Human Rights. Social conscience and an inclination to the Marxist Left marked his subsequent work, particularly his dramas Aufruhr im Mansfelder Land (Revolt in Mansfeld; 1928), Der Einsturz (Collapse; 1925 [Katastrofa in Czech; 1950]), and Kannitverstan (1929). The collection Gedichte aus Reigate (Poems from Reigate; 1941)?written during his exile in London?is generally regarded as his most mature work. The poems give powerful expression to his faith in the victory over fascism and his belief in a peaceful future, yet also attest to the hardships of émigré life. Fuchs?s final poetry collection, Ein wissender Soldat (A Knowing Soldier; 1943), appeared only posthumously. He died in a traffic accident in 1942 while in London.
