Synopsis "Glosas (in Spanish)"

A partir de 1908, pocos años antes de que Karl Kraus prescindiera de colaboradores en la revista y esta cobrara así su forma definitiva, comenzaron a aparecer en Die Fackel unos textos breves bajo el título genérico de Glosas. Se trataba de textos en los que Kraus comentaba, en general satíricamente, frases, noticias, editoriales publicados en la prensa. En los tópicos y en las erratas de la prensa, en la relajacón del lenguaje que la caracterizaba, veía los síntomas de una inminente hecatombe. El periodismo era para él el ejecutor de la degradación de la lengua, el necesario cooperador verbal, por acción u omisión, de la violencia, el impulsor, finalmente, de una guerra mundial.

Karl Kraus (1874–1936) was an influential Austrian writer, journalist, and satirist, born in Jičín (Bohemia) and based in Vienna. He founded the magazine Die Fackel (The Torch) in 1899, which he directed and wrote almost alone for more than three decades, becoming a critical platform against the press, politics, and language corruption.

Among his most notable works are The Last Days of Mankind (1919), an extensive satirical tragedy about World War I; Words in Verse (1916–1930), a poetry collection; and The Third Walpurgis Night (1933), a critical essay on the rise of Nazism. His biting style and commitment to truth established him as one of the most incisive voices in 20th-century German-language literature.
