Description

German short stories began in the late 18th century as brief, beautifully written moral fables. In the following century, style evolved toward realism in parallel with that of other European literature. From the lofty idealism of Goethe to the searing verisimilitude of Mann, German writers of all styles have left us some of the most arresting profiles of the human condition ever conceived. Roiled by gigantic undercurrents of history and blessed with a multiplicity of great poets, thinkers, and artists, the German speaking lands have provided extraordinarily rich soil for literature.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"These stories represent the cream of the crop. Charlton Griffin is an amazingly gifted reader who can turn his soothing bass voice into an utterly convincing female in seconds. It's surprising to see his name listed as the only narrator." (AudioFile Magazine)
