Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Leppin once wrote: "Prague remains my deepest experience. Its conflicts, its mystery, its ratcatcher's beauty have ever provided my poetic efforts with new inspiration and meaning." It is this city of darkened walls and strange decay that forms the backdrop of Severin's erotic adventures and… fateful encounters as he enters a world of femmes fatales, Russian anarchists, dabblers in in the occult, and denizens of decadent salons. First published in 1914, Leppin seeks to unlock the mysterious erotic nature of his native city buried deep in the subconscious of its inhabitants. His depiction of this world, in a Prague straddling the border between the ancient and the modern, has brought Severin's Journey into the Dark deserved international acclaim. As Max Brod so aptly remarked: "Leppin was the truly chosen bard of the painfully disappearing old Prague." Fiction. Revised edition. Translated from the German by Kevin Blahut. Frontispiece by Richard Teschne. First published in 1914, this acclaimed novel is set in Prague, a city of darkened walls and strange decay which forms the backdrop for Severin's erotic adventures and fateful encounters A[a¬A a world of femmes fatales, Russian anarchists, dabblers in the occult, and denizens of decadent salons. Subitled "A Prague Ghost Story," Leppin seeks to unlock the mysterious erotic nature of his native city buried deep in the subconscious of its inhabitants. As Max Brod so aptly remarked: "Leppin was the truly chosen bard of the painfully disappearing old Prague, its infamous sidestreets and debauched nights . . . a poet of eternal disillusionment, he was at once a servant of the devil and an adorer of the Madonna." Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Richard Teschner (illustrator).

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Toward the end of his life Leppin wrote: "Prague remains my deepest experience. Its conflict, its mystery, its rat-catcher's beauty have ever provided my poetic efforts with new inspiration and meaning." Others' Paradise represents one of the most intense expressions of this experience. Begi…nning with the highly imagistic "The Doors of Life," the eight stories contained in this volume detail the contours of the lives and visions of a collection of Prague inhabitants, from a prostitute bound to the decay of the old Jewish quarter, to a man caught in the memory of a lost love, and a shoemaker whose knowledge of the world has been constricted to the view from the window of his cellar workroom. Amidst their differing circumstances what these characters share is an intense desire for lasting human contact and the fated disappointment of all such aspirations. Binding their personal histories, woven into their most intimate details, is Prague itself, the city whose nature, mythical and yet all-too-real, gives shape and force to their desires while simultaneously determining their frustrations.
