Biography

Stanisław Feliks Przybyszewski was a Polish novelist, dramatist, and poet of the decadent naturalistic school. He moved to Berlin to first study architecture and then medicine. It was there that he became fascinated by the philosophy of Nietzsche, began referring to himself as a Satanist and immersed himself into the bohemian life of the city.
