This selection features eight Novellen by leading German writers of the nineteenth century.

Included here are Blond Eckbert, by Ludwig Tieck, The Marchioness of O..., by Heinrich von Kleist, Lenz, by Georg B�chner, The Jew's Beech, by Annette von Droste-B�lshoff, Tourmaline, by Adalbert Stifter, Mozart on the Way to Prague, by Eduard B "orike, Clothes Make the Man, by Gottfried Keller, and
The White Horse Rider, by Theodor Storm. These carefully selected novellas provide a means of surveying an important and widely-studied genre in German literature.


Editorial Reviews

Review

`An exceptional and courageous anthology, in an area which continues to be sadly neglected outside Germany.' Brian Fallon, The Irish Times (Dublin)

`collection of fantastic and eccentric tales' The Independent

`Paperback of the Week ... Here is half a century of the German imagination at its weirdest, and yet most digestible ... I strongly recommend this book to you, not just because the stories herein are fun but because they (Buchner's Lenz in particular) invented modern literature.' Nicholas Lezard, The Guardian

`this volume contains some of the real masterpieces of the genre' Brian Fallon, The Irish Times --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
