Karl Kraus was an Austrian satirist, critic and aphorist, editor of the influential journal 'Die Fackel' and author of the vast anti-war drama 'The Last Days of Mankind,' whose scathing critique of language, press and militarism made him a central figure of Viennese modernism. He was born into a Jewish family in Bohemia and remains among the most-studied thinkers of the twentieth century.
