Hugo Bettauer Knihy
18. srpen 1872 – 26. březen 1925
Hugo Bettauer byl rakouský spisovatel, který se proslavil svými satirickými díly, v nichž ostře kritizoval antisemitismus a společenské nešvary své doby. Jeho psaní se vyznačovalo provokativním a pronikavým pohledem na lidskou povahu a společenské přetvářky. Bettauer se nebál poukazovat na kontroverzní témata a jeho literární odkaz spočívá v odvaze postavit se proti předsudkům a v obhajobě tolerance. Jeho díla i nadále rezonují svou aktuálností a nutí čtenáře k zamyšlení nad nadčasovými problémy.
