German author Emil Ludwig (1881-1948), born Emil Cohn, studied law before
turning to writing. Early in his career, he wrote plays and novellas and became
a journalist, serving as a foreign correspondent for the "Berliner Tageblatt" in
Vienna and Istanbul during WWI. Ludwig is best known, however, for his
biographies, which combined fact, fiction and psychological analysis. His
subjects included Goethe (1920), Bismarck (1922-1924), Napoléon (1925),
Michelangelo (1930) and Cleopatra (1937). Ludwig, who became a Swiss citizen in
1932, emigrated to the U.S. in 1940 before returning to Switzerland after the
war. He died in Moscio, Ascona, Switzerland in 1948, five years after the
film, Hitler's Madman, based on his story, was released. Two
items.
