This is the first in-depth biography of the German-Jewish writer Gerson Stern. His work, which has been republished only a few years ago, is concerned with important phases in German-Jewish history: the early period of Emancipation in the 18th century, the seemingly successful integration of Jews in Germany, and finally, the collapse of integration. The biography reveals the paradigmatic importance of Stern's life and work and invites the reader to rediscover the author of Weg ohne Ende [Way Without End].
