Ghosts in the Swamp
49.99 €
"The late flower of Germanic romance, resurrected with astonishing strength, youth and exuberance": this is how Osip Mandelstam spoke of Karl Hans Schgrobl's novel "Ghosts in the Swamp" (1920). This book is one of the brightest phenomena of Austrian fiction of the early XX century, developing the creative worlds of Alfred Kubin ("The Other Side") and Gustav Mayrinka ("The Golem").
Mr. Gulliver and his daughter and an artist in love with her arrive in war-torn Vienna from America. The tourists' wanderings among ruined landmarks collide with the grotesque power struggles of the inhabitants and rebellious images of the old culture. The novel is published with selected short stories where Strobl also reveals the gothic side of Austria-Hungary.
