Book Description:
Elisabeth „Else“ Lasker-Schüler , gest. 1945 in Jerusalem) war eine deutsche Künstlerin jüdischen Glaubens. Sie war den expressionistischen, avantgardistischen Kreisen des jungen 20. Jahrhunderts verbunden.
Themen ihrer frühen Gedichte sind die gesamte Bandbreite menschlicher Gefühle, insbesondere Liebe, Melancholie, Trauer, Freude. Aber auch Freundschaft, Familie, Heimat; es finden sich auch religiöse Anklänge.
Auch wenn ihre Sprache teils experimentell ist, versteckt sie doch nicht ihre Persönlichkeit hinter ihren Worten. - Summary by seito
