"We all do not know how often we have been driven into that strange
state, and perhaps it is really an everlasting trick of scared,
weak souls to escape responsibility by such a confusion of their
inner existence." (25) Four short stories mainly set in late
nineteenth century Silesia. - The Shimmer of the Assistant: a
surreal story about a clerk who fails to get a pay-rise. - The Last
Act: a banker's past deeds come back to haunt him over an evening
in a tavern. - The Grandmother: a grandmother with a reputation for
saving dying people tries to save her grandson in the face of her
son-in-law's obstruction. - The Spirit of the Father: an explorer
in the Orient receives a visitation from his dying father. Hermann
Stehr (1864-1940) was a Silesian author of over thirty novels and
novellas. He was awarded the Bauernfeld Prize (1910), the
Fastenrath Prize (1919), the Schiller Prize (1919), the Rathenau
Prize (1930), the Wartburg Rose (1932), the Goethe Medal for Art
and Science (1932) and the Goethe Prize of Frankfurt-am-Main
(1933), and appointed as a founding member of the Prussian Literary
Academy (1926). "His people talk with their hearts and breathe with
their souls; whoever listens to them, hears sounds meant for the
ears of God." - Walther Rathenau
