Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The stories in this collection illustrate Meyrink's fondness for the bizarre and the grotesque there is an 'incorrigible' vulture and, perhaps nor surprisingly, an 'impresario for freak shows'. But, more importantly, they also reflect his personal interest in the occult in pieces such as 'The Clockmaker', 'Cardinal Napellus', and 'J H Obereit's Visit to the Time-Leeches', 'Cricket Magic', and 'The Four Moon Brethren' evoke dark forces behind the apocalyptic cataclysm of the First World War. The short stories in this collection are supplemented by autobiographical writings such as 'The City with the Secret Heartbeat' on Prague and 'The Transformation of the Blood', in which Meyrink describes his lifelong pursuit of esoteric spirituality. AUTHOR: Gustav Meyrink (1868-1932) is now considered one of the most important German language novelists of the twentieth century. Dedalus is part of the Europe-wide movement championing Meyrink's work. A new translation of The Golem was published by Dedalus in 1995, and the first English translations of The Green Face, Walpurgisnacht, The Angel of the West Window, The White Dominican, and The Opal (and Other Stories), were published by Dedalus. The addition of The Dedalus Meyrink Reader means all of Meyrink's major work is available now in English.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Gustav Meyrink is one of the most important and interesting authors of early 20th-century German Literature. To establish his reputation in the English-speaking world Dedalus has translated his five novels plus a collection of his short stories and published the first ever English-language biography of Meyrink. Now is the time to produce an overview of Meyrink in a single volume. The Dedalus Meyrink Reader has excerpts from all the translated books and a whole section of hitherto untranslated material, including the stories from the collection Fledermäuse and autobiographical articles. This volume is perfect companion for both the Meyrink scholar and the first-time Meyrink reader, containing as it does the whole gamut of Meyrink's writing from his love of the bizarre, the grotesque and the macabre to the spine-chilling occult tales and his quest to know what is on the Other Side of the Mirror. Novelist, satirist, translator of Charles Dickens, dandy, man-about-time, fencer, rower, banker and mystic seer, there are many, sometimes contradictory aspects to Gustav Meyrink, who must also be the only novelist to have challenged a whole army regiment to a duel. He has left behind a unique body of work, which can be sampled and enjoyed in The Dedalus Meyrink Reader.…
