Description

Listing is for two postcard\'s mailed from the War Prison Barracks of Fort Ogelthorpe by Hanns Heinz Ewers. Both cards are signed on the front and back by Ewers and have very interesting content in regards to the living conditions at the Barracks, and how he lost over 30lbs while interned.Ewers had a huge impact on the horror literary genre and was cited as an influence on H.P. Lovecraft. He was also a longtime friend of Aleister Crowley. In 1918 he was arrested as an active propagandist, and in 1921 was released.Below is additional information on Ewers:\"Hanns Heinz Ewers (born November 3, 1871 in Düsseldorf, Germany) was a German writer famous for his short stories and novels that expanded the parameters of the horror genre. He began his literary career as a poet when he published \"A Book of Fables\", satirical verses, in 1901. In addition to writing, he was an actor and created a vaudeville theater the same year he made his literary debut. He also founded another acting company that toured Central and Eastern Europe, but he abandoned the theater due to censorship.

It was his stories about the occult and horror that made his name. His first novel \"The Sorcerer\'s Apprentice\" was published in 1910 and his masterpiece, \"Alarune\", in 1911. The two novels were part of a trilogy based on the autobiographical character of Frank Braun, who also appears in the 1921 novel \"Vampyr\".

Ewers was deeply attracted to the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, and the Nietzschean philosophy of the \"intellectuals\" of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, as well as their nationalism (to say nothing of their mysticism) attracted him to the Nazi Party, though he never joined it. Though he wrote a novel based on the life of Nazi martyr Horst Wessel, allegedly at the bequest of Adolf Hitler, his works were banned by the Nazis in 1934.

A penniless Hanns Heinz Ewers died from tuberculosis on June 12, 1943 in Berlin. He was 72 years old.\"
