Stefan Andres
The Christian Humanist as a Critic of His Times
Description:... Though unfamiliar to many in Germany today, Stefan Andres' substantial oeuvre is gradually being rediscovered and reassessed. Through a comprehensive survey of his fictional and publicist work, this study seeks to reconcile the author's intense and detailed exploration of human spirituality with his passionate and critical confrontation with socio-political reality, showing that what have thus far been considered distinct, even antithetical thematic strands, are, in fact, complementary aspects of a wholly consistent, if complex Christian humanism.
