The eight stories in this volume offer a varied and representative collection of twentieth century German authors from a range of political and cultural backgrounds. Styles include the non-fictional manner of Kluge's montage technique and the contrasting classical storytelling of Penzoldt. With reading notes and parallel texts in German and English, this anthology is valuable to the German student of English as well as the English student of German. Reflecting trends in German literature, the stories have been selected for their quality as well as their readability, and will enhance the appreciation of both languages.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An enjoayble way of improving your German,
By A Customer
This review is from: German Short Stories 2 (Parallel Text, Penguin) (Paperback)
As an intermediate learner of German, I have found the book very useful in that it provides parallel translation as you go (the left page is in German and the right one in English). The translation is superb. The selected stories are finest examples of the contemporary German literature, Let the book carry you away and polish your German at the same time! :o)

This review is from: Parallel Text: German Short Stories: Deutsche Kurzgeschichten: 2 (Parallel Text, Penguin) (Kindle Edition)
This ebook is worthless for Kindle users.
There are many options to make this an useful book for Kindle owners, but the solution from Amazon is the worst possible one.

This review is from: German Short Stories 2 (Parallel Text, Penguin) (Paperback)
This little book is a collection of charming short stories. One can either read them or study them closely to enlarge vocabulary and learn to understand grammer. It is also a good exercise in the use of synonyms.
