Publisher's Synopsis
Walpurgisnacht: Large print by Gustav Meyrink chtigen seine prüfenden Finger traf und sein Blick zufällig auf die nackten, weißen Schenkel Bozenas fiel, die mit der den böhmischen Bauernmädchen eigentümlichen, schamfreien Ungeniertheit sich mit emporgerutschtem Rock niedergekauert hatte, um besser sehen zu können -- kam er wieder völlig ins Gleichgewicht: Das Bild der Vergangenheit löste sich angesichts der fast schreckhaften Gegensätze zwischen blühendem jungen Leben, der Totenstarre des Bewußtlosen, den schemenhaften Gestalten der Ahnengemälde und den greisenhaft gefurchten Zügen der Gräfin wie ein verdunstender Schleier von der Gegenwart. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
