Neumann, Robert
NEUMANN, ROBERT (1897–1975), novelist and satirist. Born in Vienna, the son of a mathematician and bank director, Neumann studied chemistry and literature and got his Ph.D. with a thesis on Heinrich Heine. After losing his money in the inflation of the 1920s, he went to sea. His two early verse collections Gedichte (1919) and Zwanzig Gedichte (1923) attracted little attention, but Mit fremden Federn (1927), a volume of parodies, brought him fame.

Other works of his pre-World War ii period were the novels Karriere (1931; On the Make, 1932); Sir Basil Zaharoff, der Koenig der Waffen (1934; Zaharoff, the Armaments King, 1935); Struensee (1935; The Queen's Doctor, 1936); and An den Wassern von Babylon (written 1937–38, Ger. orig. publ. 1945; By the Waters of Babylon, 1939).
Neumann also began to write in English, later novels including The Inquest (1944; Bibiana Santis (Ger.), 1950); Children of Vienna (1946; Kinder von W
