März 1873 in Fürth; † 1. Januar 1934 in Altaussee) war ein deutscher Schriftsteller. Er zählte zu den produktivsten und populärsten Erzählern seiner Zeit. ... Neben den Romanen schrieb Wassermann erfolgreiche Biographien (Christoph Columbus, 1929) und setzte seine Essayistik fort, in der er sich immer wieder auch mit der Existenzform des Juden in nichtjüdischer Umgebung befasste (Mein Weg als Deutscher und Jude, 1921) - zuletzt noch 1933, dem Jahr seines Ausschlusses aus der Preußischen Akademie der Künste, veröffentlichten Selbstbetrachtungen. Gleichzeitig mit der Bücherverbrennung 1933 in Deutschland wurden seine Bücher verboten, obwohl er bis dahin einer der meistgelesenen Autoren war. Das bedeutete für ihn nicht nur den materiellen Ruin, sondern vor allem den Zusammenbruch seiner lebenslang gehegten Hoffnungen, durch sein Werk mithelfen zu können, eine Welt des Friedens ohne nationale Spannungen und ohne Rassenhass aufzubauen. Wassermann starb am 1. Januar 1934 im Alter von 60 Jahren in Altaussee, verarmt und psychisch gebrochen. … (wiki) / In ein paar Monaten eines Münchener Winters, in den gleichgültigen Räumen einer beschei-denen Pension entscheidet sich das Schicksal zweier Menschen, erleben sie die Süße' einer er-wachenden, den bitteren Schmerz einer zerbrechenden Liebe. Der Student Vidl Falk trifft hier das Mädchen Melusine. Seine Liebe zu diesem schönen, rätselhaften Geschöpf geht durch alle Stadien des Zweifels, der Eifersucht, der Leidenschaft und kommt zu einem Ende, das gleichzeitig Erfüllung und Verzicht ist. Die kleine Welt der Pension, die Menschen um das Liebespaar schildert der Dichter mit leisem Humor und tiefer Menschlichkeit. Diese kleine Welt, ihre kleinen Sorgen und Freuden, ihre Meinungen, ihr Handeln werden für die Liebenden zu schicksalhafter Bedeutung. Die Launen eines Onkels, eines tyrannischen Obersten, beherrschen das Mädchen Melusine, sind für sie und den geliebten Mann wie Richter über Leben und Tod. Über den Menschen dieses Romans, liegt der zarte Hauch von Melancholie und Schmerz. Die Geschichte dieser seltsamen unglücklichen Liebe ist von einer schlichten und ergreifenden Schönheit.

New English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (21 x 15 cm). In English. 323 p. Exiled days of Sultan Abdülhamid II in Salonika, 1909-1912. This book is composed of two chapters on two different topics. In the first part, I have studied the exile days of Sultan Abdülhamid II in Salonika (1909-1912). This chapter is a narrative of the 1278 days he had spent in exile between the night of 27 April 1909 when he was taken to Salonika by train and early morning of 1 November 1912 when he was brought to the Beylerbeyi Palace I have interrupted the chronological narrative of the events, and put subsections on the Villa Alâtini where he resided in Salonika; why he was exiled and why Salonika was chosen; his life and thoughts in exile; his guards and doctors in Salonika; and the excursion of Sultan Mehmed V Resad to Rumeli, and the "Salute of the Sultan.".In the second part, I have studied a phenomenon that occurred at the same time period that I focused in the first part: in several ways, Sultan Abdülhamid II's wealth was seized, or confiscated, as he had written in a letter titled "My Petition to the State, Nation, Parliament, and Soldiers." In this chapter, I have worked on the plunder in the Yildiz Palace; seizure of his real estate left to the use of Ministry of Finance as a guarantee for a loan in his name; the forced donation of his money and shares in national and foreign banks to be used for the Second and Third Ottoman Armies; seizure of his money found in the Yildiz Palace; the auction of the jewelry found in the Yildiz Palace for the benefit of the Donanma-i Osmânî Iâne-i Milliye Cemiyeti; and the story of the money and jewelry found in the Beylerbeyi Palace after his death.
