Selected Writings (Paperback)

This selection contains all of Kleist's stories, including the notorious "Marquise von O "and the almost novel-length "Michael Kohlaas," as well as three of his plays-- "The Broken Jug, Amphitryon," and "Prince Friedrich of Homburg"-- and a selection of anecdotes and letters. Much of Kleist's effect is produced by his highly idiosyncratic and expressive syntax and language, and David Constantine's translation brilliantly reproduces his strangeness in English.
