Though best known for his editing and posthumous publication of his friend Franz Kafka's writing, Max Brod was a major novelist in his own right. Tycho Brahe's Path to God, widely considered his finest work and viewed by many as a small masterpiece, concerns the relationship between the great Danish astronomer and the younger, intellectually superior Johannes Kepler. Brod's representation of this complicated relation grew out of his acquaintance with the young Albert Einstein, reproduces his struggles with the Expressionist poet Franz Werfel, and strangely anticipates the most famous act Brod would ever perform: publishing Kafka's writings without his permission. As Brahe attempts to create a diplomatic compromise between the old Ptolemaic system of planetary motion and its modern, Copernican revision, Kepler discards the principle of compromise root and branch. Their conflict thus becomes an emblem of the struggle between a weakened tradition and a self-conscious modernity. The novel manages to convey the intimate, emotional reality of a seventeenth-century political conflict as well as the psychological, political, and artistic turmoil of Brod's own time. This revival of the richly allusive and deeply resonant Tycho Brahe's Path to God is a true literary event.

Now remembered primarily as Franz Kafta's friend and literary executor, Max Brod was an accomplishered thinker and writer in his own right. In this volume, he considers the nature and differences between Judaism and Christianity, addressing some of the most perplexing questions at the heart of human existence. “One of the most famous and widely discussed books of the 1920’s, Max Brod’s Paganism—Christianity—Judaism, has at last found its way into English translation to confront a new generation of readers. Max Brod is best remembered today as the literary editor and friend of Franz Kafka. In his day, however, he was the more famous of the two by far. A major novelist, playwright, poet, essayist, and composer, he was also, as this book demonstrates, a serious thinker on the perennial questions that are at the heart of human existence. . . .Some of his judgments are open to question. Still, with all its limitations, this is a forthright and passionate proclamation of the uniqueness of Judaism. Paganism—Christianity—Judaism was an intellectual and spiritual event when it was first published and it remains a valuable document even now.” —Rabbi Jack Riemer, Hadassah

Diese sorgfältige und elegant geschriebene Biographie handelt nicht nur von Heine, sondern auch von Brod und vom Schicksal der deutschen Juden; als Brod den Text 1934 veröffentlichte, waren die Nazis schon ein Jahr an der Macht, das Publikum in Deutschland nicht mehr erreichbar. Das Buch kam im Exil-Verlag Allert de Lange in Amsterdam heraus und erlebte bereits 1935 eine zweite verbesserte Auflage. Dann gingen die schrecklichsten Ereignisse darüber hinweg. In einem kurzen Vorwort zur neuen Auflage 1956, die dieser Ausgabe zugrunde liegt, macht Brod darauf aufmerksam: Er musste einiges ändern nach der Vernichtung des deutschen Judentums.

In recent years, the interest on life and work of the Jewish writer, philosopher, mystic and politician Shmuel Hugo Bergmann (1883–1975) has perceptibly increased. Well-known as a protagonist of the famous "Prague Circle", Bergmann headed for Palestine in 1920, became the driving force for building the Jewish National Library in Jerusalem and finally advanced as first Rector of the Hebrew University. All his life, close ties to the Czech Republic remained. In the State of Israel, Bergmann became a leading philosopher and highly admired cultural figure. He himself showed great interest in world religions, mysticism, and Western esotericism. Bergmann also emerged as an important point of reference for left-wing Israeli discourse. Up from the late 1920ies has was one of the protagonists of the “Brit Shalom”, an initiative which called for an advocated peaceful coexistence of Jews and Arabs and a bi-national State in Israel/Palestine. In this volume, distinguished historians, scholars of religion, and cultural scientists conflate a fascinating life story of a man who always worked on social and educational improvements and searched for fairness and deeper truths in a world full of conflict and antagonisms.

Jewish Identities mounts a formidable challenge to prevailing essentialist assumptions about "Jewish music," which maintain that ethnic groups, nations, or religious communities possess an essence that must manifest itself in art created by members of that group. Klára Móricz scrutinizes concepts of Jewish identity and reorders ideas about twentieth-century "Jewish music" in three case studies: first, Russian Jewish composers of the first two decades of the twentieth century; second, the Swiss American Ernest Bloch; and third, Arnold Schoenberg. Examining these composers in the context of emerging Jewish nationalism, widespread racial theories, and utopian tendencies in modernist art and twentieth-century politics, Móricz describes a trajectory from paradigmatic nationalist techniques, through assumptions about the unintended presence of racial essences, to an abstract notion of Judaism.

Dieser Roman wurde oft als Max Brods »Zauberberg" bezeichnet, spielt er doch 1914, in den letzten Monaten vor Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs, welcher das alte Europa zum Einsturz brachte. Aber nicht ein entlegenes Sanatorium, sondern die kleine deutsche Gemeinde in Prag ist bei Brod das Modell der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft vor dem Kriege. Im Mittelpunkt steht der Gymnasiast Stefan Rott, ein junger Mann aus guter Familie, der sich die Welt zu erklären sucht und seine erste Liebe erlebt - er verehrt Phyllis, die Mutter eines Klassenkameraden und wird schließlich sogar von ihr erhört. Hinter der gutbürgerlichen Fassade aber verbergen sich Lüge und Korruption, wie Stefan nach und nach erkennen muss. Die schöne Phyllis ist dem reichen Advokaten Urban zugetan, und Geld spielt dabei durchaus eine Rolle. Mit dem Attentat von Sarajevo stürzt auch diese kleine Prager deutsche Welt in den Abgrund: Frau Phyllis schießt auf ihren Ehemann, der Anarchist Dlouhy, Stefans Klassenkamerad, wird zum Tode verurteilt. Private und politische Entwicklung sind am selben Punkt angelangt: es wird nicht mehr geredet, es wird geschossen.
