Were Andrei Bitov and Wilhelm Reich were both prominent authors?
Wilhelm Reich Wilhelm Reich (24 March 1897 – 3 November 1957) was an Austrian psychoanalyst, a member of the second generation of analysts after Sigmund Freud. The author of several influential books, most notably "Character Analysis" (1933), "The Mass Psychology of Fascism" (1933) and "The Sexual Revolution" (1936), Reich became known as one of the most radical figures in the history of psychiatry.
Georg Dehio Book Prize The Georg Dehio Book Prize ("Georg Dehio-Buchpreis") is a biennial literary award for authors who, "in their literary, scholarly or public work, address the themes of the common culture and history of the German people and their Eastern neighbors at a high level and from a broad perspective." Described as "prestigious" by the Austrian state broadcasting system ORF, the Dehio Prize is funded by the German government through the Office of the Federal Commissioner for Culture and Media ("Beauftragte der Bundesregierung for Kultur und Medien"), the competition being administered by the German Cultural Forum for Eastern Europe ("Deutsches Kulturforums östliches Europa"), a state-endowed agency. It commemorates the Tallinn-born German art historian Georg Dehio (1850-1932), whose pioneering emphasis on multi-ethnic and transnational cultural interconnections and influences in Eastern Europe serves as a guiding principle for the work of the German Cultural Forum.
