Karl Kraus
Date de naissance: 28. avril 1874
Date de décès: 12. juin 1936
Karl Kraus est un écrivain autrichien né le 28 avril 1874 à Gitschin et mort le 12 juin 1936 à Vienne, ville dans laquelle il a vécu toute sa vie.
Auteur d'une œuvre monumentale qui n'est que très partiellement traduite en français, dramaturge, poète, essayiste, il a aussi et surtout été un satiriste et un pamphlétaire redouté. Il dénonçait avec la plus grande virulence, dans les pages de Die Fackel, la revue qu'il avait fondée et dont il a pendant presque quarante ans été le rédacteur à peu près exclusif, les compromissions, les dénis de justice et la corruption, et notamment la corruption de la langue en laquelle il voyait la source des plus grands maux de son époque, et dont il tenait la presse pour principale responsable.
