Prescription ion history

As from the German youth movement of coming poets Gumpert was very productive, but was enough according to estimate of the published Literturkritik not to that equally as dermatologist and a writer active Gottfried Benn in punkto originality near. In the reason it was inspired at the juvenile age of the moving bird. He processed the experience as war participants and a medical soldier in Turkish military hospitals of the First World War by feel in expressiven poem lines such as Zersprengte youth! /Us the time/Zerbiss the forehead/it walk, walk,/cannot not ruhn,/lurks ready/without to do. Kurt Wolff took up the volume to its recent day row. Also the pain over the early death of its loving left by the war, which it with its return married and soon thereafter deadly gotten sick found, let come out it not least by a second own Lyrikband matured from it. The Kiepenheuer publishing house home coming of the heart found just as worthy and to the time expression giving as Alfreds' of wolf stone yearbook for new seal and valuation.

Even in later publications it brought on this therapeutic way for the reader impressively, but without expressionistischen its as physician, Exilant and a time witness of the Nazi rule and war (follow) time with its interior life overshot experiences in agreement. It had been able to compare the postwar conditions in Germany on two journeys in that time with its youth memories from Brandenburg. Its in German language appearing Prosawerke passed the German public of the 1950er and 60's at that time to a large extent unnoticed. Into it he was like most burned poets of the German exile literature. Also from the public libraries it was almost eliminated, disappeared by Nazi decree as if it would have never given it.

Its incontestable literary qualities as storyteller (e.g. the birthday) and Beschreiber of entire epochs (e.g. cock man) were only rediscovered into the 1970er years. Some New editions followed into the 1980ern. With the citizens of Berlin academy of the arts settled Martin Gumpert archives, which received and searchingly opened its entire literary deduction, had considerable portion of it.

The auto+biographic novel hell in the Paradies, which as in the there preface more a description of epoch is proven than only the usual subjective impressions and anecdotes of a writer life, gives much deep sharp an illuminated, despite soberly material intonation however nevertheless linguistically expression-strong haven-guesses/advises the at that time. The novel the birthday acting around reaching a 50sten birthday at the same time is an impressive description of self reflection and trial balance in this age and a very alive rendition of the new Yorks from at that time (late 1940er).
