Frederic V. Grunfeld's Prophets Without Honour chronicles the cultural and social milieu that shaped towering figures such as Sigmund Freud, Franz Kafka, and Albert Einstein, illuminating the paradox of a community that gifted the world with revolutionary thought while enduring the mounting pressures of antisemitism and displacement.\n\nGrunfeld presents a richly textured portrait of Central European Jewish intellectual life, arguing that the very tensions of exclusion and marginality were the crucible in which genius was forged. His narrative weaves biography, history, and cultural criticism into a compelling tapestry, illustrating how these prophets — unrecognised and often unwelcome in their own time — reshaped science, literature, and the human psyche for generations to come. A work of sweeping historical insight, it leaves one wondering what other transformative minds history has yet to fully honour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130622288091,"sku":"2026200010038-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b313393e-562d-47ad-8d56-470b2522e713.png?v=1786587736","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010038-secondhand-prophets-without-honour-a-background-to-freud-kafka-einstein-and-their-world","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
