Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Aus Dem Leben Eines Ungl�cklichen: Erz�hlung Aus Dem Schwarzwalde
The present volume contains a charming little story by Heinrich Hansjakob, one of a group of living authors who devote their literary talent to what is called Sbeimat funft, i.e. The artistic treatment of typical subjects taken from actual German life, truly national in character and setting. It is written in simple, natural, and straight forward German, and affords glimpses into town and country life in the Black Forest, as well as into the (fiemfit�lehen of the'author, who has scant sympathy with the materialistic tendencies of the present genera tion, which, in its merciless struggle for existence, in its craving for transitory pleasures and meaningless pomp, seems to forget the higher qualities of man and to weaken his feeling of fellowship with all that is noble and good.
