Die Geschichte meines Lebens (German Edition)

From to , all the editions of the memoirs were derived from the bowdlerized editions produced in German and French in the early nineteenth century. Arthur Machen used one of these inaccurate versions for his English translation published in which remained the standard English edition for many years. Although Casanova was Venetian born April 2, , in Venice, died June 4, , in Dux, Bohemia , now Duchcov , Czech Republic , the book is written in French, which was the dominant language in the upper class at the time.

The manuscript is believed to have been given to Casanova's nephew, Carlo Angiolini, in The manuscript is believed to contain pages not previously read or published. The book comprises 12 volumes and approximately 3, pages 1. The two of them established a mutual friendship. The Prince expressed a desire to read Casanova's memoirs, and Casanova decided to polish the manuscript before sending it to the Prince.

After reading at least the first three tomes of the manuscript, Charles Joseph suggested that the memoir be shown to an editor in Dresden to publish in exchange for an annuity. Casanova was convinced to publish the manuscript, but chose another route. In May , Casanova was alone in Dux. He foresaw his death and asked for members of his family currently residing in Dresden to come and support him in his last moments. Carlo Angiolini, the husband of Casanova's niece, traveled without delay from Dresden to Dux.

After Casanova's death, he returned to Dresden with the manuscript.

Geschichte Meines Lebens, Volume 2 (German Edition) (Paperback)

Johann Most brought these ideas in a somewhat primitive form to New York from London in and spread them throughout the radical Germans in America. Tucker, American anarchism found an organizer and advocate, but one who believed in private ownership and non- violence, in contrast to its European cousin, represented by such agitators as Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman. The European form was famous and noisy, with murders in every country laid at its door; the American brand was quiet, unsensational, and known only among a few hundred followers.

Tucker always denied the right of Europeans to call themselves anarchists, for to him they were but communists, revolutionary communists.

Individualism, according to Tucker. Not until the nineties did communist-anarchism pass over into the hands of the Russians associated with Emma Goldman. He called to Boston as editor of the venture a young man named George Schumm — , [10] American-born son of German parents, who wrote equally well in German or English and who had been already active in liberal politics in the Middle West.

Since he was no organizer and refused to give speeches, the spread of propaganda for individualistic anarchism had to be arranged by other men. He even put out a journal for a few numbers. Otherwise, there was little organized activity among the people interested in the movement, for the whole philosophy of individualistic anarchism, while not opposed to the formation of clubs and parties, nevertheless did not encourage them.

Product details

By , Die Anarchisten had sold sixty-five hundred copies in Germany, and by , about eight thousand. Rudolf Rocker, himself a communist-anarchist, wrote, in German, in Those comrades who had known the underground period of the movement [—] were without exception followers of Communist-Anarchism.

They knew nothing of any other form. Then there appeared in Zurich in J. In the meetings and discussion groups there were now endless quarrels over the question: Communistic or Individualistic Anarchism?

And not a few came to the decision that individualism incorporated in itself the real basic ideas of Anarchism. All together he distributed about forty-three thousand of these, no doubt to a large extent at his own expense. Nevertheless, Steiner never forgot his former friend but mentioned him frequently in later years as a great poet and personality. He himself always referred to these two books, along with the largely communist-anarchist Sturm , as propaganda, in contrast to his other poems, novels, and short stories, which were expressions of pure art. Mackay, in spite of his old-fashioned tendency to look down on mere propaganda, felt that the latter was the most important work that he ever produced, superior to his non-propaganda novel, Der Schwimmer.

In Die Anarchisten there are two contrasting characters, one of which represents a philosophy of life that is clearly communist-anarchism; the other, a more intellectual person, is an individualistic anarchist and an egoist. Through the eyes of these two men we see the horrors of life among the London poor in and the useless attempts of London radicals to wipe out the evils of the world by means of an effective social movement. The book is obviously aimed not only at the layman but also at the communist-anarchists, in an attempt to persuade them to drop their evil ways and come over to the camp of the Americans.

It was translated into English by George Schumm immediately after its appearance and published by Tucker in Boston.

Der Freiheitsucher is very different from Die Anarchisten. In the center of the latter, Mackay put the London anarchists in mass, and all through it he dealt with crowds: Now, in its companion book, he wished to show the mental and emotional development of a lone individual from childhood to a mature belief in the possibility of a world in which no one is forced to submit to unwanted government, a world in which everyone works out his own system of ethics without respect to laws and believes in his own God.

The outline of American anarchism given in Die Anarchisten in conversations among the various characters is here filled out in detailed essays to a complete Weltanschauung covering all phases of life.

Of course, only the basic points are taken over from American anarchism; Mackay builds on this foundation a house of his own, German and not American, Mackay and not Tucker. To readers whose sympathies were already anti-state, anti-communistic, and anti-revolutionary, the book presented a beautiful expression of their views. Thoreau would have delighted in it.

Indeed, American anarchism has in existence today a well-rounded body of literature produced by Josiah Warren, the founder; Benjamin Tucker, organizer and popularizer; Max Stirner, moralist; Pierre Proudhon, social theorist; and greatest of them all, the poet and artist, the synthesist, John Henry Mackay. Der Freiheitsucher is an anomaly in literature, for it is the acme of an American movement, reached not in America but in a foreign country and in a foreign language after the original movement had died out.

Mackay was the greatest convert of American anarchism and its most stubborn adherent. He was in a way a genius, talented in the field of letters as none other of the many shrewd heads Benjamin Tucker attracted to his cause.
