Autographen – Richard Voß (1851-1918) war Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts ein erfolgreicher Autor im deutschsprachigen Raum. Obwohl er im Kaiserreich zunächst als oppositioneller Schriftsteller verboten wurde, entwickelte er sich später zum Bestsellerautor. Heute ist sein Werk jedoch weitgehend in Vergessenheit geraten. Sein Frühwerk prägte den deutschen Naturalismus entscheidend. In den 1880er Jahren war er ein gefeierter Dramatiker und wurde neben Ibsen aufgeführt. Sein Roman "Zwei Menschen" wurde ein Millionenerfolg. Voß war Bibliothekar und Italienkenner und bewegte sich in kulturellen Zentren wie Weimar, Berlin, Wien und Rom. Hinter seinem schillernden Leben verbarg er ein Doppelleben, das er als Homosexueller führen musste und das sich auch in seinem Werk widerspiegelte. - Horizontaler Mittelfalz, Tinte im Rand von 3 S. tls. leicht verwischt, sonst wohlerhalten.

Autographs – Autograph letter signed by the author to Mr. von Dycke. - Richard Voss (1851-1918) was a successful author in German-speaking countries at the end of the 19th century. Although initially banned in the German Empire as an opposition writer, he later became a bestselling author. Today, however, his work has largely fallen into oblivion. His early works decisively shaped German Naturalism. In the 1880s, he was a celebrated playwright and his plays were performed alongside those of Ibsen. His novel "Two People" became a bestseller. Voss was a librarian and an expert on Italy, and moved in cultural centers such as Weimar, Berlin, Vienna, and Rome. Behind his dazzling life, he concealed a double life, which he had to lead as a homosexual and which was also reflected in his work. - Horizontal center fold, ink in the margin of 3 pages partially slightly smudged, otherwise well preserved.
