About the Book

This book is a kaleidoscope of the diverse literary and journalistic efforts of two Austrian-born friends who use the joint pen name of Peter Fabrizius. The collection is a chronicle of a lifetime's work, beginning with humorous short stories written in their youth which have since been translated into seventeen languages. This is followed by their exploits on three continents and their flight from Nazi Europe. Also included are samples of their acclaimed translations of German literature. The body of work concludes with their essays in psychology and philosophy which reflect the mature thinking of their later years.

About the Author :
The Editors: Dr. Joseph Fabry and Dr. Max Knight (jointly Peter Fabrizius), law-school graduates from the University of Vienna, emigrated from Austria after the Nazi invasion in 1938 and worked as editors/writers for the University of California. Joseph Fabry is the foremost spokesman in America of Viktor Frankl's philosophy of meaning, notably through his book Pursuit of Meaning, as well as other works. Max Knight is known for the translation of Christian Morgenstern's Galgenlieder into English and of Ogden Nash's poetry into German. Both are recipients of the Golden Honor Award of Merit for the Republic of Austria for their literary achievements.

Review :
About the works of Peter Fabrizius: Dry wit, sly fun... his lines dance. (New York Times Book Review) An accomplished versifier whose lines have unobtrusive ease. (London Times Literary Supplement) Peter Fabrizius is more than a pen name, it symbolizes a friendship that survived war, separation, poverty, and personal growth. (Northern California Jewish Bulletin) Very readable... will appeal to anyone interested in the purpose of life. (Choice Books for College Libraries) A book of lasting value. (Boston Globe) An amazing insight into how emigrants become immigrants, and refugees become ancestors. (Los Angeles Times)
