About the author
Erwin Carlé, better known by the pen name Erwin Rosen, was a German writer and journalist born in Karlsruhe in 1876. Sources found for this entry agree that he wrote under the name Erwin Rosen and is especially remembered for adventurous, autobiographical books.
Reference pages and library records connect him with works about his travels in America and his time in the French Foreign Legion, including In the Foreign Legion and Der deutsche Lausbub in Amerika. That background helps explain the direct, reportorial energy readers often associate with his writing.
He died in Hamburg in 1923. I found reliable biographical information, but I did not find a suitable confirmed portrait image from the page images available during this search, so no profile image is included.
