Felix Salten
Died in 1945
Siegmund Salzmann (1869-1945), who wrote under the name Felix Salten, was born in Pest into a Jewish family that moved to Vienna when he was still an infant. His father's money troubles made him leave school in 1885 for a job in an insurance company; with no other training, he became a journalist, frequented Schnitzler, Hofmannsthal and Bahr, and became an influential theatre critic. He presided over the Austrian PEN club from 1927, then, his books banned in Germany, had to leave Vienna in 1939 for Switzerland, where he died.
