Leopold Perutz studied philosophy at the University of Vienna. He was a novelist, narrative writer, dramatist and mathematician.
Leo served in the army during WWI as an officer and was wounded. After WWI he lived in Vienna as a freelance writer.
On 9.7.1938 he came to Haifa, Israel on the Marco Polo ship. In Israel he was associated with the writers Max Brod and Ben Horin. He was a writer (Leo Perutz) and in his vivid historical novels he displays the visionary power andtechnical skill of the born storyteller.
He wrote: Mathematik (Function Theory), Romans: about Hernando Cortez, "Die dritte Kugel" (1915); "Zwischen neun und neun" (1918); "Der Marques de Bolibar" (1920); “Der Geburt des Antichrist “ (1921); "Der Meister des juengsten Tages" (1923); "Turlupin" (1924); on Richelieu and his age "Wohin rollst du, Aepfelchen?" (1928); "Der schwedische Reiter" (1936); "Weihnacht in Wien"; "Der Lodger"; "St. Petri Schnee" (1933) which was made into a T.V. film. The last novel published during the author's lifetime, "Nachts unter der steinernen Bruecke" (1953), evokes the Prague of Rudolf II; "Der Judas des Leonardo", set in the Milan of Ludovico Sforza, appeared in 1959.
Perutz wrote the novel "Der Kosak und die Nachtigall" (1927) together with Paul Frank. The "Herr, erbarme dich meiner" appeared in 1930. His plays such as "Die Reise nach Pressburg" (1930) and "Morgen ist Feiertag" (1936) were less successful. He wrote also for the Berliner Illustrierte and worked in Vienna for the "Anker" Insurance. He is buried in the Catholic cemetery in Bad Ischl, Austria. (His name appears in the Encyclopaedia Judaica).
