4.9/5 (11201 ratings)

Description:A daring novel situated roughly in the fin de siècle period of 1890 to 1930, Jews Queers Germans centers on the interlocking lives of five remarkable figures; Prince Philipp von Eulgenburg, Kaiser William's closest friend; Magnus Hirschfield, the pioneering sexologist; Count Harry Kessler, a leading proponent of modernism and the keeper of an extraordinary set of diaries; Walther Rathenau, a towering intellectual figure who (though a Jew in anti-Semitic Germany) rises to the position of foreign minister; and Ernst Röhm, head of Hitler's burgeoning storm troopers. All five men are primarily homosexual, though they handle their erotic orientation in very different ways. Where Rathenau remains utterly closeted, Kessler feels free to bring his youthful working-class lover to the privileged soirées of the aristocracy, and the roustabout Röhm openly cavorts int he gay bathhouses and bars. Though Prince von Eulenburg, in contrast, is discretion itself, his enemies are hell-bent on his downfall; their intrigues culminate in the notorious trial of 1907 - at which Magnus Hirschfeld gives "expert" witness - that produces worldwide shock and titillation.The drama of these astonishing lives plays out against the rich tapestry of a period in human istory in which the remnants and artifices of a moribund society contend with the rise of revolutionary insurgencies, international antagonisms, and a surge of innovation in the arts, sciences - and self-knowledge.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
