Julius Hermann Moritz Busch (February 13, 1821 – November 16, 1899) was a German publicist. He has been characterized as “Bismarck's Boswell.” ==Biography== Busch was born at Dresden. He entered the University of Leipzig in 1841 as a student of philosophy〔 and theology, and graduated as doctor philosophiae. From 1847, he devoted himself entirely to journalism and literature. He began literary life as a translator of Dickens, Thackeray, and other English authors.〔〔 In 1851 he went to America, but soon returned disillusioned to Germany, and published an account of his travels. During the next years he travelled extensively in the East and wrote books on Egypt, Greece and Palestine. From 1856 he was employed at Leipzig on the ''Grenzboten'', one of the most influential German periodicals, which, under the editorship of Gustav Freytag, had become the organ of the National Liberal Party. In this roll, Busch strongly supported Bismarck's policies. In 1864 he became closely connected with the Augustenburg party in Schleswig-Holstein, but after 1866 he transferred his services to the Prussian government, and was employed in a semi-official capacity in the newly conquered province of Hanover. His work on the ''Grenzboten'' had attracted Bismarck's attention, and in 1870 he received an appointment to the German Foreign Office,〔 where he functioned as one of Bismarck's press agents. From that time and for many years, he was the inseparable companion and confidant of the chancellor, taking daily notes of his sayings and doings, and earning for himself the title of “Bismarck's Boswell.”〔 He was at the chancellor's side during the whole of the campaign of 1870–71. Busch died at Leipzig on November 16, 1899. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Julius Hermann Moritz Busch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
