Theodor Lessing (1872-1933) was a German Jewish philosopher known for opposing the rise of Hindenburg as president of the Weimar Republic and for his book on Jewish self-hatred. Peter Appelbaum (translator) is Emeritus Professor of Pathology at Pennsylvania State University, USA. During his retirement years he has published fourteen books and translations about Jews in Central Europe during World War I and thereafter. He was awarded the (London) Times Literary Supplement - Risa Domb Porjes Prize in 2019 for his translation of Avigdor Hameiri’s Hell on Earth. He has published two previous translations of Theodor Lessing’s works: Jewish Self-Hate (2021), and Enemy in the Country: Satires and Novellas (2022). Benton Arnovitz is director at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, USA. He is also an editor, literary agent, and retired publishing director.
These two philosophical writings on natural phenomena are among the author's most excellent texts. My Animals not only combines humorous portraits of fauna, but also reflects Lessing's reflections on humanity and the world in which we live. The same applies to Flowers, where the precise observer provides an insight into the enchanting flora and the special characteristics of each plant. This work is undoubtedly one of the most special reflections on the world of animals and flowers. * Dr. Elke-Vera Kotowski, Chief Curator and Associated Member of the Moses Mendelssohn Center, University of Potsdam *
