Blood Money

Blood Money is a work by Hermann George Scheffauer (1876-1927), the San Francisco-born poet and translator who began as Ambrose Bierce’s protégé and ended his career in Berlin as a bridge between German and English letters. Scheffauer translated Thomas Mann into English and wrote bitter polemics against the First World War from the German side, a stance that cost him his American audience. His writing carries the fierce, divided loyalties of a German-American caught between his two nations. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
