^read ebook [pDf] Tales of the German Imagination from the Brothers Grimm to Ingeborg Bachmann (Penguin Classics)

"Spanning the Brothers Grimm to Kafka and beyond, a new collection of the most strange and fantastical German stories from the past 200 yearsnbsp Franz Kafka posthumously cornered the nightmare market in the twentieth century. Yet in our adulation of Kafka's wonderfully bizarre prose, English-language readers tend to overlook the fact that he was not spawned Athena-like from the cranium of German literature. Kafka had his precursors among the German Romantics, as well as his contemporaries working in kindred veins and his heirs in post11World War II Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. This rich and varied anthology gathers together many haunting stories, from the dark fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, to Kafka's own chilling satire In the Penal Colony, to the surreal fantasies of Kurt Schwitter in The Onion.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700nbsptitles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
