Adventurer Richard Katz

During the early twentieth century, one of the most notable travel writers in Central Europe was Richard Katz. After obtaining a job with the Ullstein Publishing House, Katz convinced his superiors to allow him to start his own newsletter called the "e;Green Post,"e; which would print travel stories about his adventures while roaming around the world. This newsletter eventually became so successful that it had over a million subscribers. Professor Wasserman's current book of German to English translations now offers today's English reader a sample of various Richard Katz travel pieces that were so greatly enjoyed by German readers almost one hundred years ago.
