First line
HEINRICH VON KLEIST-in his plays, stories and poems, the first great German literary rebel against eighteenth-century rationalism and the aging Goethe's classicism-was born in Frankfurt an der Oder in 1777.
From the rear cover
Five of the finest German short stories -- each a well-known pinnacle of the author's art -- have been specially chosen for this dual-language edition. Reprinted here in the order of their original publication, the stories are: Heinrich von Kleist's "The Earthquake in Chile," E. T. A. Hoffmann's "The Sandman," Arthur Schnitzler's "Lieutenant Gustl," Thomas Mann's "Tristan," and Franz Kafka's "The Judgment." For each selection, the editor has supplied complete literal English translations on facing pages, along with an introduction to each story and a foreword outlining the evolution of the German short-story genre. Any student of German language or literature will welcome this concise anthology -- as a superb language-learning aid and as a repository of great short fiction.Original Dover (1993) selection and translation of five stories.
