Review
'The Caucasian Chalk Circle, written in 1944 while he was in exile from Germany, gives some epic illumination to socialist ideas about ownership and injustice. But more than that it's a story about love winning out over endemic corruption' --Dominic Maxwell, The Times
'an adept new translation by Alistair Beaton' --Dominic Maxwell, The Times
