Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Kurt Eisner (1867–1919), a politician and journalist, gained historical significance as a leader of the November Revolution of 1918 in Bavaria, representing the German Independent Socialist Party (USPD). He was elected the first prime minister of the "Free State" of Bavaria by the Munich Workers’ and Soldiers Council and also served as Foreign Secretary. His tenure lasted only 100 days, ending in February 1919 when he was assassinated by nationalist student Count Anton von Arco auf Valley. Eisner had already made a name for himself in the late 19th century with critical articles in prominent newspapers. After joining the German Socialist Party in 1898, he worked for its central organ, Vorwärts. In his work, he directly addressed the proletariat, analyzing the French Revolution and its implications for Germany up to the end of the Napoleonic Wars. In the preface to the second edition, he noted the urgent need for historical enlightenment among workers, contrasting it with the bourgeoisie’s reliance on unproductive legends.
