Description
A new translation of Anna Seghers's most provocative short stories is now available. This selection showcases her unique blend of political activism and mythological exploration, featuring some of her most formally experimental work. Seghers's stories span over four decades, from 1925 to 1965, and include tales of psychological complexity, such as "The Dead Girls' Class Trip," alongside enigmatic narratives based on myths and legends. Her writing style is characterized by its unconventional use of the German language, which is preserved in this translation. This collection offers a glimpse into Seghers's remarkable range and creativity, with stories that have been translated into English for the first time, including "Jans Is Going to Die."
