June 13, 1887 Stuttgart - June 20, 1945, Beverly Hills - German writer, poet and playwright. Born into a banker family. He studied law and philosophy at the universities of Strasbourg, Heidelberg, Tubingen and Munich. He was awarded the title of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Tubingen. During the First World War he served at the front as a soldier. After graduation B. Frank became a man of liberal professions. Was a close friend of the writers L. Feuchtwanger and K. Mann. The writer spoke about his creativity and requirements for literature as follows: Complete clarity is, in my opinion, the best. A minimum of chatter, since the most difficult thing is to state the most difficult things in simple words. As a matter of fact, one should write the way Tacitus did. After the National Socialists came to power in Germany and the day after the fire of the Reichstag, on February 28, 1933, Bruno Frank and his wife Lisl (the only daughter of the famous operetta actress Fritzi Massari), due to their Jewish origin, were forced to flee Germany - first to Austria , then to Switzerland, England and France. In exile, he wrote his second major historical novel, Cervantes (1934). In 1937, the writer created the novel "Passport", in which he describes life and life in Nazi Germany. B. Frank fully supported the efforts of Klaus Mann to create a unified anti-fascist movement among the German emigration, however, as the anti-fascists became more and more clearly stratified into the left and conservative camps, he was more and more skeptical of such an association. His only politically directed work was the novella Lies as a State Principle (Luge als Staatsprinzip, 1939), in which he debunked Hitler's rule in Germany. In the late 1930s, B. Franck lived in the French Mediterranean town of Sanary-sur-Mer, where then there was a large colony of German anti-fascist emigrants. B. Frank also wrote popular comedies. His play "Storm in a Glass of Water" (Sturm im Wasserglas, 1930) was filmed for film and television 7 times from 1931 to 1989. His other comedy, Nina, appeared in 1931. B. Frank was also the author of several essays and screenplays (for example, for the film Notre Dame Cathedral, 1939). Since 1939, the writer has lived and worked in the United States.
