Hermann Sudermann

Hermann Sudermann (September 30, 1857 – November 21, 1928), German dramatist and novelist, original, vintage, 3.5 x 5.5, silver-print postcard.

Sudermann's nationalism, and his delight in romanticized ideas of ethnicity and homeland, particularly noticeable in his later works, made him a favorite during World War II. Jürgen Fehling staged Johannisfeuer in Berlin, with Maria Gorvin, Maria Koppenhöfer and Paul Wegener in the lead roles. The film 'Die Reise nach Tilsit' was based on his short story of the same title.

Verso bears original printed postcard graphics, else blank and clean. In very good condition with slight signs of wear and handling.
