The Profile

Ernst Wiechert (1887–1950) was a German author known for novels, short stories and essays.

Some of Wiechert's works were published and reprinted during the Nazi period and have been discussed in relation to Nazi cultural policy. The Italian edition of La Signora was published by Mondadori in 1936 (mentioned in the review).

A single review considers La Signora (Die Majorin, 1936) a work of limited literary necessity but interesting as a historical witness. The reviewer situates Wiechert among modest authors whose works were republished during the Nazi period. The physical book and its edition history are central to the reviewer's attention.

Notable Quotes

❝ La signora (die Majorin, 1936) is, therefore, not an indispensable text, by a rather forgettable author (Das einfache Leben - A Simple Life can still be read) whose importance does not lie in its content but in its ability to tell "something else", to go beyond the story itself.
