	Paul Leppin
		Paul Leppin was born in Prague on November 27, 1878, the second son of Josef Leppin and Pauline Scharsach.
		Leppin's father had to give up his profession and work as a clerk in a law office; his mother had to take care of her two sons and could not contribute much to the family income.
		Leppin's contribution to the city's literature and culture was recognized both in 1934, when he was awarded the Schiller Memorial Prize, and in 1938, when on his 60th birthday he received an "Honorary Recognition for Writers" from the Czechoslovak Ministry of Culture.

	Paul Leppin: Blaugast
		Leppin's last major novel, Blaugast, stands as one of the best examples of his work.
		After the war, the manuscript was deposited in the National archives in Prague — something of a minor miracle in itself as it was found on the street after Leppin's apartment had been ransacked at war's end.
		The novel follows the descent of Klaudius Blaugast from respectable clerk to homeless and depraved, a downward spiral initiated by the evil Schobotzki, an old schoolmate he happens to meet one night, and facilitated by the cruel prostitute Wanda.

	Paul Leppin
		Aufgrund dieser ärmlichen Familienverhältnisse konnte Paul Leppin nach der Matura nicht wie die meisten seiner Schulkameraden die Universität besuchen, sondern trat gleich in den Dienst der Post- und Telegraphendirektion, wo er bis zu seiner aus Krankheitsgründen frühzeitigen Pensionierung vom Rechnungspraktikanten zum Rechnungsobersekretär aufgestiegen war.
		Paul Leppin hatte damit seinen »Deutschen Blättern der Künste« selbst das Urteil gesprochen, ihr frühzeitiges Ende - schon nach der zweiten Nummer - war nicht überraschend.
		Leppin hoffte, daß ihr zumindest die Auseinandersetzungen zugute kommen würden, die seine Generation »belustigt und verärgert zugleich«, wie er bemerkte, über sich hatte ergehen lassen.

	Paul Leppin: Others Paradise
		Leppin was the truly chosen bard of the painfully disappearing old Prague...
		Leppin's characters dream or fantasize as a way of traversing the border between death and their trapped lives.
		Others' Paradise is Paul Leppin's only collection of short stories, and this edition is the first complete translation of all eight, which were originally published in 1921.

		Leppin wurde daher häufig für einen Juden gehalten - teils irrtümlich, teils bewusst diffamierend, erläutert Dierk Hoffmann von der Colgate University.

	Amazon.co.uk: The Road to Darkness (Empire of the Senses): Books: Paul Leppin,Mike Mitchell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The "Road to Darkness" contains two highly decadent and controversial novels: "Daniel Jesus" and "Severin's Road to Darkness" Daniel Jesus is a perverted hunchback who squanders his vast fortune on an inexaustible search for the ultimate in cruelty and debauchery through the orgies he holds at his house.
		Leppin is at his fabulously evocative best in this story, which fairly drips with lasting imagery: " His hair, plastered in blood, a jagged cut running right across his cheek from which blood poured down like water from a broken jug"
		This search for meaning leads him into murderous waters and Leppin's description of the winter of both Prague and of Severin's mind is truly matchless.

		Dating from 1914, Leppin's novel plainly describes a libertine's aimless affairs and wanderings, focusing on the repetition of Severin's life and melding his decadent outlook with Kafkaesque detachment.
		If the press's surrealist impulse is buried in Hrabal, it is still detectable, as in the harrowing "Meshuge Stunde," which describes a frenzy among cats as Soviet planes fly overhead.
		This antirationalist strain seems to have fully permeated Czech literature; as Sidenberg says, "Czech surrealism draws on many themes that are endemic to Czech art in general: a deep sense of irony, absurdity, fantasy." Hrabal, Leppin, Brezina, and Tomin all represent different stages in the development of this aesthetic.

	PAUL LEPPIN by LOUIS ARMAND
		Our attention, in Severin's Journey, is continually drawn to the manifold topology of women; its constant shifting between virgins, society prostitutes, mothers, daughters, wives, phantasms, all of whom seem to coalesce as a paradigm for the desire of the subject, and yet who remain multiple, variegated, contradictory even.
		Moreover, woman, and her "ultimate" association, in Leppin's text, with the spider and its "web", calls to the inner ear of the subject's will with a Circean allure ("half-articulated rhythms"); a call which Derrida situates in the "ever veiled promise of transcendence."
		The subject, as Lacan repeatedly emphasised, is never resolved in its own relation to, and as, the ghost of the signifier.

		The Road to Darkness By Paul Leppin, Translated by Michael Mitchell
		"The Road to Darkness contains two novels by the Prague German writer Paul Leppin (1878-1945), who was known as the ""Spokesman of Young Prague"" and also as the ""Troubadour of Prague."" What holds the reader is Leppin's skill at evoking a gloomy, stifling atmosphere of decadence and decay.

		'Severin's Journey into Darkness', Paul Leppin, Twisted Spoon Press, Prague, pb., in print.
		Leppin was a Prague German, a contemporary of Kafka and Meyrink - in fact Meyrink appears as a character in this tiny bite-sized book that is easy to choke on because of its devastating exploration of the dark side; Prague is in perpetual fog and daylight hardly ever exists....
		This hilarious book epitomises certain aspects of the Czech character, including their fondness for beer and their willingness to sabotage authority in seeming innocence of the effects of their actions.
