| Writer born in Berlin, Germany. He was part of the Berlin literary circle Tunnel über der Spree, where he met such figures as Fontane, Eichendorff, Storm, and Geibel. Moving to Munich, he and Emanuel Geibel were the centre of the literary scene there. His novel L'Arrabiata was the first of over 150 novellas written during 1855–95 and largely forgotten today. He developed the Falkentheorie on the novella, wrote plays including Don Juans Ende (1883), and was a noted translator of Italian literature. In 1910 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. |
