First British Edition, 1938. "Kaspar Hauser (1812-1833) was a German youth who claimed to have grown up in the total isolation of a darkened cell. Hauser's claims, and his subsequent death by stabbing, sparked much debate and controversy. Perhaps the most influential fictional treatment of Kasper Hauser is Wassermann's 1908 novel Caspar Hauser oder Die Trägheit des Herzens (Caspar Hauser or the Inertia of the Heart), which was largely responsible for its popularization in Germany. The story is so interesting and so well told that it's hard to believe this novel has been out of print in English for decades.

New York: Horace Liveright, 1928. The German-Jewish writer Jacob (Jakob) Wasserman (1873-1934) was friend to Rilke and Mann; his works were banned by the Nazis in 1933.
