Leopold Kolbe

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leopold Kolbe is a 19th century German-speaking author about whom very little is known.

He lived in Vienna in the first half of the 19th century and was therefore probably an Austrian. His leipogrammatischer novel No love without torment. A short story, simple and yet artificial , the text of which does not require the letter “r”, appeared in Joseph Müller's bookstore in Budapest in 1816 and is his only literary legacy. It is possible that his name is an unreleased pseudonym .
