Description

Kurt Wolff (1887-1963) was a singular presence in the literary world of the twentieth century, a cultural force shaping modern literature itself and pioneering significant changes in publishing. During an intense, active career that spanned two continents and five decades, Wolff launched seven publishing houses and nurtured an extraordinary array of writers, among them Franz Kafka, Lou Andreas-Salom , Boris Pasternak, G nter Grass, Robert Musil, Paul Val ry, Julian Green, Lampedusa, and Anne Morrow Lindbergh.
