Rock Crystal (Paperback)
Published by New York Review Books, New York, 2008
ISBN 10: 159017285X ISBN 13: 9781590172858
Language: English
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Seemingly the simplest of stories-a passing anecdote of village life- Rock Crystal opens up into a tale of almost unendurable suspense. This jewel-like novella by the writer that Thomas Mann praised as "one of the most extraordinary, the most enigmatic, the most secretly daring and the most strangely gripping narrators in world literature" is among the most unusual, moving, and memorable of Christmas stories. Two children-Conrad and his little sister, Sanna-set out from their village high up in the Alps to visit their grandparents in the neighboring valley. It is the day before Christmas but the weather is mild, though of course night falls early in December and the children are warned not to linger. The grandparents welcome the children with presents and pack them off with kisses. Then snow begins to fall, ever more thickly and steadily. Undaunted, the children press on, only to take a wrong turn. The snow rises higher and higher, time passes- it is deep night when the sky clears and Conrad and Sanna discover themselves out on a glacier, terrifying and beautiful, the heart of the void. Adalbert Stifter's rapt and enigmatic tale, beautifully translated by Elizabeth Mayer and Marianne Moore, explores what can be found between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day-or on any night of the year. Stifter's rapturous and enigmatic tale of village life begins with a small anecdote-one Christmas eve, a brother and sister lose their way amid snowdrifts while crossing the Alps-and opens onto vast questions of faith and destiny.

Motley Stones (Paperback)
Published by New York Review Books, New York, 2021
ISBN 10: 1681375206 ISBN 13: 9781681375205
Language: English
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The first complete English translation of the nineteenth-century Austrian innovator's evocative, elemental cycle of novellas.The first complete English translation of the nineteenth-century Austrian innovator's evocative, elemental cycle of novellas.For Kafka he was "my fat brother"; Thomas Mann called him "one of the most peculiar, enigmatic, secretly audacious and strangely gripping storytellers in world literature." Often misunderstood as an idyllic poet of "beetles and buttercups," the nineteenth-century Austrian writer Adalbert Stifter can now be seen as a radical experimenter with narrative and a forerunner of nature writing's darker currents. One of his best-known works, the novella cycle Motley Stones now appears in its first complete English translation, a rendition that respects the bracing strangeness of the original. In six thematically linked novellas, including the beloved classic "Rock Crystal," human dramas play out amid the natural cycles of the Alps or the urban rhythms of Vienna-environments so keenly observed that they emerge as the tales' most indomitable protagonists. Stifter's human characters are equally haunting-children braving perils, eccentrics and loners harboring enigmatic torments. "We seek to glimpse the gentle law that guides the human race," Stifter famously wrote. What he glimpsed, more often than not, was the abyss that lies behind the idyll. The tension between his humane sensitivity and his dark visions is what lends his writing its heartbreaking power.
