![endif]--> Arthur Moeller Van Den Bruck was a prolific writer, historian, art critic, translator & publisher; the quintessential Bohemian fin-de-siecle artist. In the turbulent years that followed the end of the First World War, he became politically active as the leader of the young conservative revolutionaries in Weimar Germany. Moeller van den Bruck expressed his ideas for a German authoritarian state in his major work Das Dritte Reich (The Third Reich), first published in 1923.
