{"product_id":"9781909232136","title":"The Dedalus Meyrink Reader","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn anthology of Meyrink' s work,novels,short stories \u0026amp; essays. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SCB Distributors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47167500157168,"sku":"9781909232136","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781909232136_p0.jpg?v=1763624040","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781909232136","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
