With this publication, the Gelbe Post, a German-language emigrant periodical in Shanghai, is available for the first time as reprint (now in it’s 2nd edition). Adolf Josef Storfer (1888-1944) founded the Gelbe Post in 1939, after fleeing the Nazis for Shanghai. Prior to immigrating to China, Storfer was the co-publisher of Sigmund Freud’s “Gesammelte Schriften” (collected writings) as director of the “Internationaler Psychoanalytischer Verlag” (International Psychoanalytic Publishing House) in Vienna (1925-1932). He was also the author of two books on linguistics.
The Gelbe Post was a bi-monthly magazine that explored connections between
Asian cultures, psychoanalysis and linguistics, and discussed the struggles
of life in Shanghai.
This unique magazine mirrors the cosmopolitan and colonial life of late 1930s Shanghai, a city in which one could enter without a passport or visa, and was a haven for thousands of European Jewish refugees, as well outcasts and moneymakers from all corners of the world.
This reprint presents the first seven issues of the Gelbe Post exactly as Storfer published them before changing the format of his periodical into a newspaper in late 1939. A booklet by Paul Rosdy about A. J. Storfer’s years in exile is also included.
