Hardcover. Condition: Good. This copy of "Selected Austrian Short Stories", translated by Marie Auguste Johanne Elise Busch (1867-1940), is a 1971 reprint issued by Books for Libraries Press as part of their 'Short Story Index Reprint Series'. The book was originally published in 1928, and is now once again Out of Print (OP). In the translator's Preface, she says, "It had been the intention of the translator to include in this collection short stories by authors from most parts of that vanished complex, the old Imperial Austria of the last century. But on re-reading such popular writers on peasant life as Rosegger, Anzengruber, Schönherr, and others, the dialect or particular mode of speech employed by them seemed an obstacle to doing justice in another language to these distinguished writers. The attempt has nevertheless been made to show to English readers life in the different parts of old Austria as reflected in these tales by authors of German-Austrian origin, writing in German." The stories in the book are as follows : ** The Poor Fiddler - Franz Grillparzer ** Jakob Szela - Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach ** The Finch" - Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach ** The Troglodyte - Ferdinand von Saar ** A Rainy Day - Felix Braun ** The Journey to the Centre of the Earth - Karl Hans Strobl ** At the Hour of the Stars - Robert Hohlbaum ** A Mother - Vincenz Chiavacci ** Madame Nikolitch - Adam Müller-Guttenbrunn ** The Prophecy - Arthur Schnitzler ** His Beautiful Wife - Hermann Bahr.
