An Anthology of German Novellas [German]

By: Weing, Siegfried

This new collection, intended for the student and the interested general reader of German alike, includes both traditional examples, and those which fall outside the usual canon. The sixteen novellas in the volume have been carefully chosen on the bases of length, historical significance, popularity, and interest, and have been extensively glossed by the editor, who also provides an introduction to the history and theory of the genre. SIEGFRIED WEING is Professor of Modern Languages at the Virginia Military Institute.
