Assorted Euro Dudettes
Emmy Hennings, dada poet, artist, weirdo.
Anna Akhmatova, a poet worth more than her black pearls.
Mina Loy, modern poet extraordinaire.
Assorted Euro Dudes
Franz Kafka: Prague's preeminent genius/nut job.
Nice wig! This is Voltaire, author of Candide. He invented ridicule.
Robust German, Friedrich Nietzsche. Earthy, nutty, mustachio'd.
This is Goethe. Otherwise known as "The Shakespeare of Germany." If you want to sound smart at parties, don't pronounce his name "GO!..th". We'll learn how to properly pronounce this man's name in class.
Prominent Frog, Jean-Paul Sartre. Lazy eye, hyper brain.
