An Opposing Man The Autobiography of a Romantic Revolutionary Fischer, Ernst Publisher:  Liveright, New York, USA Year Published:  1974   First Published:  1969 Pages:  417pp   ISBN:  0-87140-598-9 Library of Congress Number:  DB98.F55A313   Dewey:  943.6`05`0924 Resource Type:  Book The memoirs on Ernst Fischer, a socialist literary and art critic. Abstract:  Ernst Fischer's account, translated by Peter and Betty Ross, highlights his many roles-as "a first-rate art and literary critic", a gifted popular Marxist interpreter, an executive of the Austrian Communist Party and "an accomplished propagandist at the centre of power in Moscow during the war." Through this book Fischer describes life in Moscow during his time and "recounts dramatic conversations with Togliatti, Dimitrov, Ulbricht, and others." The book covers his life in Graz, in Vienna, and in Moscow. An introduction by John Berger recounts the last stages of Fischer's life. Fischer grew up in Graz, fought in the First World War and witnessed the collapse of the Austrian Army. He was involved in politics and formed friendships with many important people. He became a Communist but later in life he was expelled from the Communist Party.
