Select Prose By Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Translated and with an Introduction by Alexander Stillmark

While his plays and operas have their place in the public repertoire, Hofmannsthal’s prose is less well-known, some would say even unjustifiably neglected. Alexander Stillmark provides new translations of Tale of the 672nd Night, The Soldier’s Tale, The Village in the Mountains, Cavalry Tale The Experience of Marshal Bassompierre, Lucidor: Figures for an Unwritten Comedy, A Letter (The Chandos Brief), and as an appendix: Poems by Loris: An Experience, Your Countenance, The Maiden and Death, Serene House, Before Daybreak, What is this World?, He sand She.
