Tucholsky now public domain
Though some days have passed since, I cannot resist writing about a piece of good news. Since January 1st, the works of German writer Kurt Tucholsky are in the public domain. The author died on Dec. 21, 1935, in his Swedish exile. German copyright protection lasts 70 years after the author’s year of death.
Tucholsky (1890-1935) excelled in pointed, satirical descriptions of people and events in Germany’s Weimar Republic. I love his style of writing, though I suffered a slight overdose of his works in university.
If you read German, go ahead and download his works from the German Project Gutenberg site.
