He was a writer (Leo Perutz) and in his vivid historical novels he displays the visionary power and technical skill of the born storyteller. He wrote: Mathematik (Function Theory), Romans: about Hernando Cortez, "Die dritte Kugel" (1915); "Zwischen neun und neun" (1918); "Der Marques de Bolibar" (1920); “Der Geburt des Antichrist “ (1921); "Der Meister des juengsten Tages" (1923); "Turlupin" (1924); on Richelieu and his age "Wohin rollst du, Aepfelchen?"
