Publisher's Synopsis

""Spielhof: Eine Phantasie"" (1922) is a novel written by Franz Werfel. The story is set in the fictional town of Spielhof, which is a place where strange and mysterious things happen. The protagonist, a young man named Robert, arrives in Spielhof and becomes fascinated by the town's peculiarities. He meets a variety of eccentric characters, including a mad scientist, a beautiful woman who is rumored to be a witch, and a group of anarchists who plan to overthrow the government. As Robert becomes more deeply involved in the town's affairs, he begins to question his own sanity and the nature of reality itself. ""Spielhof: Eine Phantasie"" is a surreal and experimental work that explores themes of identity, perception, and the nature of truth. It is considered one of Werfel's most significant works and a notable example of German Expressionist literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
