info@boston.goethe.orgPart III of our exploration of the key texts of German literature takes us to one of the most vibrant and thrilling cultural niches. Although Prague and Vienna were the capitals of two different countries, they were intimately connected for German speakers. Jewish writers, in particular moved back and forth between the two cities, developing a literature that was markedly different in its languid sensuality and suspicion of the effectiveness of language itself from the literature produced in the Prussian capital Berlin.
