Sigismund von Radecki

Sigismund von Radecki (1891–1970) war ein deutsch-baltischer Schriftsteller, Essayist und literarischer Übersetzer, der vor allem in Deutschland und der Schweiz wirkte. Nach seiner Konversion zum katholischen Glauben im Jahr 1931 prägten christlicher Humanismus, feine Ironie und eine ausgeprägte Sprachkritik seine zahlreichen Aphorismen und Feuilletons. Für Bibelleser bieten seine geschliffenen Texte bis heute prägnante Denkanstöße zu menschlichen Schwächen, moralischer Verantwortung und christlichen Glaubensfragen.
