The eight stories in this volume offer a varied and representative
collection of twentieth century German authors from a range of political
and cultural backgrounds. Styles include the non-fictional manner of
Kluge's montage technique and the contrasting classical storytelling of
Penzoldt. With reading notes and parallel texts in German and English,
this anthology is valuable to the German student of English as well as
the English student of German. Reflecting trends in German literature,
the stories have been selected for their quality as well as their
readability, and will enhance the appreciation of both languages.
