Kolbenheyer - Erwin Guido Kolbenheyer

Japanese: コルベンハイヤー - こるべんはいやー（英語表記）Erwin Guido Kolbenheyer

1878‐1962
German author. Born in Budapest, he was a so-called Overseas German. From a biological and metaphysical perspective, he preached that the individual must be subordinate to the species and the nation. In his fiction, he preferred to feature historical figures who sought to break free from the shackles of the Middle Ages and the Church. This tendency led him to become close to the Nazis, and after 1933 he came to be regarded by both himself and others as one of the leading writers of Nazi literature. However, it should be noted that his masterpieces, the play Giordano Bruno (1903), the novel The Love of God (1908), the Paracelsus trilogy (1917-26), and the philosophical work The Building Shed (1925), were all written before the Nazi era.

1878‐1962
ドイツの作家。ブダペスト生れのいわゆる外地ドイツ人。生物学的･形而上学的な立場に立って，個人は種と民族に従属しなければならないことを説く。創作においては，中世的･教会的な羈絆を脱して進もうとする歴史上の人物が好んで取りあげられた。このような傾向からナチスに接近し，1933年以後はナチス文学の代表的作家の一人と自他ともに許すようになる。しかし，代表作と目される戯曲《ジョルダーノ･ブルーノ》(1903)，長編小説《神を愛す》(1908)，《パラケルスス》三部作(1917‐26)，哲学的著作《建築小屋》(1925)がいずれもナチス時代以前に書かれていることは注目されてよい。
