Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - While Jerome is globally famous for his lighthearted farces, The Dancing Partner showcases his incredible, rarely seen talent for the macabre. Set in a quaint German village, the story introduces a clever mechanical engineer who becomes utterly exasperated by the local young men, who are simply too tired or clumsy to dance with the village ladies at social gatherings. His solution He invents a flawless, clockwork automaton; a handsome, tireless mechanical partner designed to waltz the night away without ever missing a step. At first, the creation is hailed as an engineering marvel, and a grand festive ball is thrown to celebrate its debut.
