"Die Stellung eines parteilosen Beobachters wird mir durch das Faktum erleichtert, da ich Ausl nder bin. Als franz sischer Autor unter Napoleon h tte ich wahrscheinlich auf der Seite Chateaubriands abseits gestanden, w hrend ich ihn als Deutscher auf der Seite Goethes bewundert h tte. So zieht mich auch die Gestalt Mussolinis unabh ngig von den Parteien und von den beiden Fakten an. An die Stelle des Dilemmas, tritt bei mir die k nstlerische Betrachtung einer au erordentlichen Pers nlichkeit." Emil Ludwig (Gr ls-Klassiker)
