Richard Weiner (Czech writer) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Richard Weiner (Czech writer) Richard Weiner (6 November 1884 – 3 January 1937) was a Czech journalist and writer. He is generally considered to be one of the most important Czech writers of the twentieth century, since he influenced many of his own and later generations of writers. Yet he is little known outside the Czech Republic. Because of his enigmatic writings he has often been likened to Franz Kafka, although mutual influences can be ruled out with near certainty.〔Jindřich Chalupecký: ''Richard Weiner.'' Aventinum, V Praze 1947; F. Kautmann: ''Franz Kafka a česká literatura'' (Franz Kafka and the Czech literature). In: E. Goldstücker, F. Kautmann & P. Reiman (eds.): ''Franz Kafka'', Liblická konference 1963. Prague 1963, p. 63; Cf. ; Lubomír Doležel: ''Radical Semantics. Franz Kafka and Richard Weiner.'' In: , pp. 225–230; ; ;〕〔〔Hans Dieter Zimmermann: ("Ein tschechischer Kafka? Zur Prosa Richard Weiners". Vortrag auf der Konferenz Kafka und Prag zum 80. Geburtstag von Kurt Krolop im Goethe-Institut Prag am 29. Mai 2010. ) (19 July 2011)〕 He has been called "the poet of anxiety", others spoke of him as "the Odd-man out" of Czech literature. His contemporary Karel Čapek named him "the man of pain." == Life == Weiner was born in Písek, South Bohemian Region, Austria-Hungary (now the Czech Republic). His parents ran a distillery and confectionary and Richard, the oldest of five children, was destined to take over the family's business. He studied chemistry at the Technical University in Prague and after graduating in 1906 with a degree in Chemical engineering he went on to take further studies in Zurich and Aachen. In 1908 he served in the military and in 1909 he began working as a chemist in Pardubice, Freising and Allach (near Munich).〔 In 1911, however, and after many sleepless nights, Weiner determined that he would rather try to make his living as an independent journalist and writer.〔 The following year he moved to Paris and started writing as a correspondent for the Czech daily newspaper ''Samostatnost''. Beginning in 1913 he primarily worked for ''Lidové noviny'' and published his first volume of poetry. While he was on vacation in Prague in the summer of 1914 World War I broke out. He was conscripted for military service and served at the Serbian front. In January 1915 he suffered a nervous breakdown and was discharged from the army. For the rest of the war he worked for various Prague newspapers and published three collections of short stories, among them ''Lítice'' (Furies, 1916), one of the first Czech books dealing with World War I.〔〔William E. Harkins: ''War in the Stories of Richard Weiner''. In: ''Kosmas'' 1 (1982), pp. 67-71.〕 In 1919 Weiner returned to Paris once again as a correspondent for ''Lidové noviny''. He was to stay in Paris for nearly the rest of his life, only returning to Prague in 1936 when he had fallen seriously ill with stomach cancer.〔Jonathan Bolton: (''Weiner, Richard.'' ) YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe. (11 July 2011).〕 He died in a Prague sanatorium on 3 January 1937.〔 He was buried at the Jewish cemetery of his hometown. His tomb was wrecked in a pogrom shortly before the outbreak of World War II.〔Peter Urban: ''Biobibliografische Notiz'' In:〕
