Specially chosen for their power to evoke German life and culture,
these short, simple readings include poems, stories, essays and
anecdotes. Featured authors include Goethe, Hesse, Heine, Schiller,
and Holderlin, in selections offering a variety of subject matter
and gradual advancements in language skills.
The short stories in this bilingual anthology are from the works of
some of the great masters of the German literary tradition -
including Goethe, Glister, Mann, and Kafka - and offer a
representative collection illustrating the development of German
fiction from the late eighteenth to the late twentieth centuries.
The novella, one of the most sophisticated genres of narrative
literature, owes its development primarily to German belles
letters. In the present collection, Mr. Steinhauer has assembled a
representative sampling that ranges from the Enlightenment to the
postwar periods and reveals the scope and flexibility of this art
form. Included are Wieland's "Love and Friendship Tested," Kleist's
"Michael Kohlhaas," Chamisso's Peter "Schlemihl," Hoffmann's
"Mademoiselle de Scudery," Keller's "Clothes Make the Man," Meyer's
"Sufferings of a Boy," Mann's "The Bajazzo," Fontane's "Stine,"
Hauptmann's "Heretic of Soana," Kafka's "Hunger Artist,"
Schnitzler's "Fraulein Else," and Bergengruen's "Ordeal by Fire."
