Garibaldi: The Man and the Nation

by Paul Frischauer

Overview

First published in 1935, this is a biography of Giuseppe Garibaldi (4 July 1807 - 2 June 1882), the Italian general, politician and nationalist who played a large role in the history of Italy.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest generals of modern times and one of Italy's "fathers of the fatherland," Garibaldi has been called the "Hero of the Two Worlds," thanks to his military enterprises in Brazil, Uruguay and Europe. He personally commanded and fought in many military campaigns that led eventually to the Italian unification.
Garibaldi was appointed general by the provisional government of Milan in 1848, General of the Roman Republic in 1849 by the Minister of War, and led the Expedition of the Thousand on behalf and with the consent of Victor Emmanuel II. His last military campaign took place during the Franco-Prussian War as commander of the Army of the Vosges.
An unmissable addition to your history collection.

About the Author

Paul Frischauer (May 25, 1898 - May 7, 1977) was an Austrian novelist and journalist.
Born in 1898 in Vienna into a publishing family—his father was the editor of the Neues Wiener Tagblatt and his mother hailed from the publishing house of the Wiener Sonn- und Montags-Zeitung—Frischauer studied history at the University of Vienna.
In order to escape the National Socialist party in Germany, he emigrated to Great Britain in 1934 and from there to Brazil in 1940. He relocated again in 1945, this time to the United States, where he worked as a ghostwriter. He returned to Austria in 1957.
As a novelist, he concentrated on historical novels such as Dürer and Prince Eugène. Whilst living overseas, he wrote a novel about Beaumarchais and the Napoleonic era, as well as on the Habsburgs. After his return to Austria, he wrote several German language textbooks for various publishing houses.
He married his first wife Alma Wittlin, also an Austrian writer, in 1921. Following their divorce in 1932, Frischauer was married a further three times, including in 1958 to Austrian actress Gabriele Philipp, also known as Gaby von Schönthan.
Frischauer died in Vienna in 1977 and was interred at Döblingen cemetery.
