The Living are Few, the Dead Many

- Selected Works of Hans Henny Jahnn

Bag om The Living are Few, the Dead Many

The inter-war literary scene in Europe was ripe with Gothic Romanticism and modernist literary Expressionism a la Doblin and Joyce. Hans Henny Jahnn created a ''crazed marriage'' between these two in his personal cries of existential horror and guilt. Jahnn had both a repulsion and a fascination for mortality, which was reinforced by his unconventional sexuality and by his philosophy that celebrated all aspects of life and death. The Living are Few, the Dead Many features a selection of Jahnn''s works, including The Night of Lead, which is his most renowned work in Germany.
