Ourselves as Others See Us: Herr Lion Feuchtwanger looks at us

on 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

THIS is the second of a number of talks in which certain foreign observers of especial perception and wit will tell us how our country, our manners, and our civilization generally impress them. Today's talk is being given by a German author whose name leapt into fame hero with the publication of a translation of his great novel, 'Jew Süss' - a monumental story of the eighteenth century that caused a real sensation amongst the critics and the reading public. Herr Feuchtwanger, unlike some authors of monumental works, has a keen sense of humour and a very nimble mind, and the mirror that he holds up to us tonight will probably give us more than one surprise.
