A woman has been found strangled in front of a local church. On her
lap, a bag full of coins and a note "For masses for her soul." In a
nearby convent for young society ladies, the chaplain is having
"unconventional" encounters with his novices. Capitan Alatriste
will soon discover how these two facts are connected by an
entangled net of power, faith, and death.
M. O'C. Walshe, has now completely rewritten the work to meet the
needs of the student whose prime concern is with the reading of
Middle High German literature rather than with the language as
such. Nevertheless the grammatical introduction, though recast, is

confusing differences from modern German.
Roman history in Latin readings sustained by English prefaces
and generous annotation, "Aeneas to Augustus" is paper-bound and
lithographed from typescript while practice tests its
effectiveness. Prose (Part I) and poetry (Part II)--each Part a
term's work with a full historic span--may be alternated during a
year's course without losing continuity. Latin readings approximate
a class hour's needs; each Part forms a sequence of graduated
complexity; a vocabulary is included; and literary and linguistic
annotations will interest both beginning and advanced students.
This new volume of eight short stories offers students of German at all levels the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of contemporary literature in the original, with the aid of parallel translations. The majority of these stories have been written in the past decade, and reflect a rich diversity of styles and themes. Complete with notes, the stories make excellent reading in either language.
