Stanisław Przybyszewski (1868–1927)

The publication of Stanisław Przybyszewski’s “On the Psychology of the Individual” was a bombshell that unleashed a blazing fire for a modern version of the “Sturm und Drang” movement in Berlin. Stanisław Przybyszewski became known in Berlin literary circles overnight. “The Polish genius“ as August Strindberg called him, chose German as the language in which to express himself and in the 1890s he influenced German literature more than almost any other writer.
