The Memoirs of Felix Kersten is a non-fiction book written by Herma Briffault. It is a biographical account of the life of Felix Kersten, a Finnish-born masseur who became famous for his work with Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS during World War II. The book is based on Kersten's own memoirs, as well as interviews with people who knew him, and other historical documents.The book begins with Kersten's early life in Finland, where he trained as a masseur and became interested in alternative medicine. It then follows his journey to Germany, where he set up his own practice and began treating high-profile clients, including Himmler.The bulk of the book focuses on Kersten's work with Himmler, which began in 1941 when the SS leader was suffering from severe stomach pains. Kersten's massages provided Himmler with relief, and he became a regular patient. Over time, Kersten used his position to negotiate with Himmler on behalf of the Finnish government, securing the release of Finnish prisoners and improving conditions for Finnish soldiers fighting on the Eastern Front.The book also delves into Kersten's personal life, including his relationships with women and his involvement in the Finnish resistance. It concludes with his post-war life, including his trial for war crimes and his eventual move to Sweden, where he lived until his death in 1960.Overall, The Memoirs of Felix Kersten provides a fascinating insight into the life of a man who played a key role in one of the most tumultuous periods of modern history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in World War II, the Holocaust, or the history of alternative medicine.This is a new release of the original 1947 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Democratic Justice: Felix Frankfurter, the Supreme Court, and the Making of the Liberal Establishment

The conventional wisdom about Felix Frankfurter--Harvard law professor and Supreme Court justice--is that he struggled to fill the seat once held by Oliver Wendell Holmes. Scholars have portrayed Frankfurter as a judicial failure, a liberal lawyer turned conservative justice, and the Warren Court's principal villain. And yet none of these characterizations rings true.A pro-government, pro-civil rights liberal who rejected shifting political labels, Frankfurter advocated for judicial restraint--he believed that people should seek change not from the courts but through the democratic political process. Indeed, he knew American presidents from Theodore Roosevelt to Lyndon Johnson, advised Franklin Roosevelt, and inspired his students and law clerks to enter government service.Organized around presidential administrations and major political and world events, this definitive biography chronicles Frankfurter's impact on American life. As a young government lawyer, he befriended Theodore Roosevelt, Louis Brandeis, and Holmes. As a Harvard law professor, he earned fame as a civil libertarian, Zionist, and New Deal power broker. As a justice, he hired the first African American law clerk and helped the Court achieve unanimity in outlawing racially segregated schools in Brown v. Board of Education.In this sweeping narrative, Brad Snyder offers a full and fascinating portrait of the remarkable life and legacy of a long misunderstood American figure. This is the biography of an Austrian Jewish immigrant who arrived in the United States at age eleven speaking not a word of English, who by age twenty-six befriended former president Theodore Roosevelt, and who by age fifty was one of Franklin Roosevelt's most trusted advisers. It is the story of a man devoted to democratic ideals, a natural orator and often overbearing justice, whose passion allowed him to amass highly influential friends and helped create the liberal establishment.
La comarca de don Felix, es uno de esos libros que cautivan al lector desde la primera pagina y que uno no los suelta hasta agotar el final, como se hace de rutina con una bebida o una comida que haya despertado gratamente el paladar y los limites benignos del sentido del gusto. Se trata de una obra que no solo enriquece la bibliografia socio rural de la Republica Dominicana, sino que incorpora a la literatura un modelo narrativo que combina la linea de vida de un nino del campo, sus experiencias narradas descarnadamente tanto en su entorno familiar como en las vivencias rutinarias de toda la comarca y relaciona estas con el contexto historico del pais en esa coyuntura.
