Mackay’s final, posthumously published novel brings us another memorable character in Ludwig Behrendt. Although a... More > successful businessman, he is haunted by a youthful indiscretion until the unexpected arrival of a visitor from his past brings about drastic changes in his life.
The novel illustrates, both negatively and positively, ideas of the 19th century German philosopher Max Stirner. But in all the challenges Behrendt has to face, he remains a believable personality whose strength is also his weakness. For admirers of Stirner this novel is a must read. But its many literary levels can be enjoyed by all. It is a fascinating blend of story-telling and philosophy brought to life. < Less

This is the frank, unvarnished biography of an unlikely polymath. Alas, the story ends just as his life begins to show... More > promise. But what is here is surprisingly entertaining, with intriguing hints of what-might-have-been. In it we see the well-known progression from an idealistic youth through painful frustrations to a realistic maturity—in this case ending with the dawning of a final satisfying egoism.

Auf keinem Gebiet des sozialen Lebens herrscht heute eine heillosere Verworrenheit, eine naivere Oberflächlichkeit, eine... More > gefahrdrohendere Unkenntnis, als auf dem des Anarchismus. Das Wort an und für sich wirkt bereits wie das Schwenken eines roten Tuches – in blinder Wut stürzen die meisten darauf los, ohne sich Zeit zu ruhiger Prüfung und Überlegung zu lassen. Sie werden auch dieses Werk zerfetzen, ohne es verstanden zu haben. Mich werden ihre Stöße nicht treffen. —
London und die Ereignisse des Spätjahres 1887 haben mir als Hintergrund meines Gemäldes gedient.

John Henry Mackays Der Schwimmer, erstmals 1901 im angesehenen S. Fischer Verlag in Berlin erschienen, gehört zu den... More > frühesten Sportromanen überhaupt. Mackay, selbst ein leidenschaftlicher Schwimmer, hatte gute Kontakte zu den Sportschwimmern in Berlin. Das Bild, das er von den Wettkämpfen um 1900 zeichnet, ist dem heutigen Leser zwar noch weitgehend vertraut, enthält aber z. B. mit “Tellertauchen” und “Hindernisschwimmen” auch Wettbewerbe, die es längst nicht mehr gibt. Der Roman ist so auch ein historisches Dokument. Vor allem aber ist er eine spannende Geschichte um einen Sportler, der die Erregung des Sieges ebenso erlebt wie die lähmende Qual der Niederlage. < Less

Who doesn’t enjoy a good mystery? But prepare yourself for a real treat, for Black Bootee is unlike any other mystery you... More > have read. The convoluted plot itself is enough to tie you into a Gordian knot of sleuthing. But it is the characters—the characters!—who will enthrall you. The cast is one such as you have never read about nor seen before. They are brave and bold, they are cowardly and devious—and you will love every twist and turn of their minds (and bodies). Good and bad lose all distinction in this original and absorbing “tale of treachery and double-dealing” (to quote the subtitle). The plot is woven so carefully and painstakingly that you know the author must have drawn maps to keep track of his characters’ movements. You will be tempted to do the same when some sequence of events appears not just unlikely, but downright impossible. And yet, everything works out as the implausible becomes possible and the mysteries are solved down to the last detail (well, almost). < Less

Ai suoi tempi erano in pochi a sapere con certezza che oltre ad essere un pezzo importante nella storia del pensiero libertario, era anche un elemento perfino più significante nella storia del movimento gay visto che, per comprensibili motivi di prudenza, aveva scelto di non pubblicizzare troppo questo aspetto della sua vita.
Non importa. Quello che ha fatto è stato veramente grande, dal punto di vista sociale e culturale, e si è meritato un posto di primo piano nella nostra storia.

John Henry Mackays Erzählung Der Unschuldige, 1931 in einer limitierten Auflage von 1000 Exemplaren als erste... More > Veröffentlichung der Mackay-Gesellschaft, Berlin, erschienen, ist die Geschichte einer psychologischen Wandlung, geschildert aus der Sicht eines Verfechters der egoistischen Philosophie Max Stirners. Die Geschichte spielt im Berlin des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhunderts und beginnt damit, daß die Hauptperson Zeuge eines Mordes wird. Damit wird eine Kette von Ereignissen mit immer wieder unerwarteten Folgen in Gang gesetzt, die den Leser bis zum Schluß in Atem hält. Ungewöhnlich für die Zeit ist es, daß Mackay in die historisch genaue Schilderung eines bestimmtes Milieus unauffällige homosexuelle Charaktere einbezieht. So bietet die Erzählung in vieler Hinsicht eine spannende Lektüre.
Nicht zuletzt wegen der Machtergreifung der Nationalsozialisten bald nach der Erstveröffentlichung, hat diese Erzählung nie die Aufmerksamkeit gefunden, die sie verdient. < Less
