Born in 1898 in Vienna into a publishing family—his father was the editor of the Neues Wiener Tagblatt and his mother hailed from the publishing house of the Wiener Sonn- und Montags-Zeitung—Frischauer studied history at the University of Vienna.
In order to escape the National Socialist party in Germany, he emigrated to Great Britain in 1934 and from there to Brazil in 1940. He relocated again in 1945, this time to the United States, where he worked as a ghostwriter. He returned to Austria in 1957.
As a novelist, he concentrated on historical novels such as Dürer and Prince Eugène. Whilst living overseas, he wrote a novel about Beaumarchais and the Napoleonic era, as well as on the Habsburgs. After his return to Austria, he wrote several German language textbooks for various publishing houses.
He married his first wife Alma Wittlin, also an Austrian writer, in 1921. Following their divorce in 1932, Frischauer was married a further three times, including in 1958 to Austrian actress Gabriele Philipp, also known as Gaby von Schönthan.
Frischauer died in Vienna in 1977 and was interred at Döblingen cemetery.lihat lebih sedikit
