Bettauer Hugo Knihy
18. august 1872 – 26. marec 1925
Hugo Bettauer bol rakúsky spisovateľ, ktorý sa preslávil svojimi satirickými dielami, v ktorých ostro kritizoval antisemitizmus a spoločenské neduhy svojej doby. Jeho písanie sa vyznačovalo provokatívnym a prenikavým pohľadom na ľudskú povahu a spoločenské pretvárky. Bettauer sa nebál poukazovať na kontroverzné témy a jeho literárne dedičstvo spočíva v odvahe postaviť sa proti predsudkom a v obhajobe tolerancie. Jeho diela naďalej rezonujú svojou aktuálnosťou a nútia čitateľov k zamysleniu nad nadčasovými problémami.
