Description
The Ratcatcher by Viktor Dyk is a masterful blend of lyrical prose and early twentieth century modernism. This Czech classic tells the story of a stranger with a magical fife who promises to rid a rat-infested town of its vermin for a sum of one hundred Rhine ducats.
Translated into English for the first time, this work has held its own among Eastern European literature for over a century. With its unique blend of medieval legend and modernist style, The Ratcatcher is a fascinating read that offers a glimpse into the cultural heritage of the region.
Paperback edition, 139 pages.
