About the Book

Book Synopsis



Harold L. Poor's biography of the iconic German Jewish author, journalist, satirist, playwright, and poet is the most important and thorough work on Kurt Tucholsky in the English-speaking world; a labor of love by the Rutgers history professor that is still unmatched. For this book, Poor has not only spent years of research in American Universities, he also visited Tucholsky's widow Mary Gerold in her home in Rottach-Egern, Germany, his family in tow, and unearthed material, letters, and pictures previously unknown. This book is an entertaining and well-written gem that has finally been rediscovered.

Berlinica Publishing offers five books by famed Weimar author Kurt Tucholsky translated into English, among them Berlin! Berlin! and Rheinsberg. A sixth book is upcoming; the play Christopher Columbus and the Discovery of America.


Berlinica Publishing offers English-language books from Berlin, German; fiction, non-fiction, travel guides, history about the Wall and the Third Reich, Jewish life, art, architecture and photography, as well as travel guides and cookbook. It also offers documentaries and feature films on DVD, as well as music CDs. Berlinica caters to history buffs, Americans of German heritage, travelers, and artists and young people who love the cutting-edge city in the heart of Europe. Berlinica cooperates with Berlin-based publishing houses.


Berlinica's current and upcoming titles include "Our West Berlin," by various authors, two translated plays by Ernst Toller, and two American travel stories by Alfred Kerr and Roda Roda, soon to be followed by Egon Erwin Kisch's "Paradise America", a book about Mark Twain in Berlin, and "Berlin 1945" with historic black-and-white pictures from the Soviet Army archives and "Berlin in the Cold War" .

Berlinica also offers the comprehensive history book "Jews in Berlin" as well as "A Place They Called Home," about the children of German Jews returning. We sell "The Berlin Wall Today," a full-color guide to the remnants of the Wall by Michael Cramer and "The Berlin Cookbook," a full-color collection of traditional German recipes.


Our program also includes the music CD "Berlin-mon amour," by chanteuse Adrienne Haan, and two documentaries on DVD, "The Red Orchestra," by Berlin-born artist Stefan Roloff and "The Path to Nuclear Fission," by New York filmmaker Rosemarie Reed. Berlinica also sells books beyond Berlin, namely a travel guide to Martin Luther and a book on the 1000-year anniversary of Leipzig.





Review Quotes





"Harold L. Poor's study is one of the best of a large and growing crop."

Gordon Craig, The New York Times


"The book does offer an introduction to a very important period

and a witty, cosmopolitan, quite tragic man."

Kirkus Reviews



"This biography, the first substantial treatment of its subject in English, does an excellent job of analyzing Tucholsky's Hassliebe for Germany."

Robert E. Neil, The American Historical Review


"Poor has placed the brilliant satirist in the context of the history of his country. ... a meticulously researched, copiously annotated study."

Harry Zohn, The Germanic Review


"An (...) academic exercise of the sort Tucholsky himself prophetically anticipated in his Plea Against Immortality."

Ernst Pawel, Commentary Magazine


"Poor has provided a new focus of the Weimar Republic and its fate."

Carl E. Schorske, The New York Review of Books


This one was well worth doing and it is well worth reading."

Richard Hanser, The German-American Review



"A readable orientation to the history of the Weimar era."

Wayne Wonderley, Richmond News Leader


"An interesting picture of the Germany of the 1920s as it headed inexorably toward Hitlerism and the devastation of World War II."

Jerry Few, the Arizona Daily Star
