Kurzfassung:
Examines to what extent the Tharaud brothers' (Jérôme and Jean) literary success in France in the 1920s can be attributed to the antisemitic contents of their works. Their novels and their journalistic and historical writings, which became obsessed with Jewish themes during these years, reached hundreds of thousands of readers through the "Revue des Deux Mondes", "Revue universelle", and the activity of their editor, Plon. Argues that the popularity of their novels, even among Jews, suggests that the depiction of exotic Jewish communities in Central Europe and North Africa took advantage of the readers. However, the brothers' essays, from "Quand Israël est roi" (1920) to "Quand Israël n'est plus roi" (1933), leave no doubt as to their antisemitism and the fact that it advanced their success. Based on this, questions the view of the 1920s as free of antisemitism in France.
