Haunting early Modernist short fiction from Vienna. The restless, alienated spirit of turn-of-the-century Vienna is brilliantly caught in these seven tales - hitherto not readily available together in English translation - by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, one of the major writers of the period and Richard Strauss' librettist. ""Reflect the decadence of fin-de-siecle Vienna...They are secular variations on the Fall.""—Bloombury Review.
