Georg von Der Gabelentz (1834 – 1892) was a German writer of entertaining stories that critics claimed as pulp fiction. After translating this story I can only say that I want to read more!
He came from the noble family of Gabelentz and was born on the Lemnitz. After graduating from high school, Gabelentz studied in Lausanne and Leipzig, but then decided to pursue a military career. In 1892 he was cultural attache at the German embassy in Rome. He retired in 1907, at that time with the rank of major. Reactivated during World War I, he served as an adjutant in the War Ministry.
