Franz Hessel
Franz Hessel (1880-1941) was a German writer and literary critic, celebrated for his exploration of urban life and his connections to the avant-garde movements in Europe. An early supporter of modernism, Hessel's works often captured the essence of the changing cultural landscape. As a Jewish intellectual, he fled Nazi Germany, ultimately finding himself in Marseille amidst the chaos of World War II, where he joined other exiled writers as they sought refuge from persecution.
