Abstract

In this article the novel, titled “Crazy Professor” (1926), of Hermann Suderman, who had lived in 1857-1928 and was one of the most important novels and drama authors of German literature, had been taken into consideration. The hero of the novel, Prof. Sieburth, had lived a hypocritical life to be able to adapt to the conditions of that period. The term hypocritical had been used for both real and figurative meanings. Because the hero behaves differently in an academic environment, supports the views accepted by the academic environment though he is against , but in the proletariat ( labor class) where he was born and lived expresses his views, ideas, and critics that he had never stated before in a covered way and by changing his position. In this research, the negative conditions of the academics caused by anti-democratic pressure resulted by the Bismarck Period on German universities were handled.
