School For Barbarians is a book written by Erika Mann, originally published in 1938. The book is a memoir that recounts the author's experiences as a teacher in a progressive school in Munich, Germany during the early 1930s. The school was founded by Mann and her partner, Gustav Stolper, and aimed to provide an alternative education for children that was free from the traditional authoritarianism of German schools at the time. The book provides a vivid description of the school's curriculum, which included classes on democracy, human rights, and social justice. It also depicts the challenges that the school faced in a society that was becoming increasingly hostile to progressive values. The book offers a unique insight into the political and social climate of Germany during the rise of the Nazi party, and the challenges faced by those who sought to resist its ideology. Overall, School for Barbarians is a powerful testament to the importance of education and the struggle for freedom in times of oppression.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
