Karl Kraus was born in 1874, in Jičín, in the then Austro-Hungarian Empire. His work is marked by a profound skepticism towards the society, politics, and culture of his time. He was a relentless critic of the press, war, and bourgeois hypocrisy, using an aphoristic style and corrosive humor. In addition to essays and articles, he wrote plays and poems. His influence extended to various areas, inspiring avant-garde movements and later thinkers. He died in Vienna in 1936.
