Book Description Condition: Gut. 347 S.; Illustr.; 24 cm. Gutes Ex.; Umschlag stw. gering berieben. - Englisch. - Mit Beilage (Brief des Verlages an den Literaturwissenschaftler Eberhard Lämmert). - Among the several hundred thousand Jews and non-Jews who fled Germany and Nazi-occupied lands during the Third Reich were many of the finest minds of the twentieth century. Some escaped dramati-cally-writer Lion Feuchtwanger in a daring abduction from an internment camp, the elderly Heinrich Mann in a climb over the Pyrenees from France to Spain-though others left under less duress. Einstein, for example, renounced his German citizenship while he was on a trip to the United States. Once out of Hitler's Europe, the emigre artists and intellectuals had widely varied experiences. Several found great success. Hannah Arendt gained a vast audience for her blend of philosophy and history in such works as The Human Condition. Kurt Weill quickly absorbed American musical fashions to be-come one of the United States's most popular composers for the theater. But not all the refugees were as fortunate: Composer Bela Bartok found few audiences for his works and became increasingly bitter; author Stefan Zweig committed suicide in Brazil. The Muses Flee Hitler explores this diversity as it studies issues of cultural transfer and adaptation, as well as the interaction between exiles and hosts. Some countries closed their doors to the refugees; no country welcomed them with unreservedly open arms. "Nowhere were unlimited numbers of fleeing intellectuals accepted, regardless of how gifted they each might have been," explains coeditor Jarrell C. Jackman in his Introduction.
