Description
For more than a century, Lion Feuchtwanger (1884–1958) has remained one of the most popular German authors in the world. And this is one of those cases where the reasons for decades of reader love are perfectly clear: his work is one of the pinnacles of the historical novel genre. A true master, Feuchtwanger has a rare gift for creating an absorbing narrative, delving deeply and meticulously into the intricacies of historical events.
In his novels—even those devoted to the most distant eras and little-known episodes—he is always careful with the reader: the reality he creates is convincing, yet the countless historical details he weaves into the story are done so neatly and thoughtfully that most of them feel both understandable and waiting to be reflected upon, as if they were events from the reader’s own time.
Feuchtwanger never depicts history for its own sake: any of his novels is always a subtle and exact observation—calling for thought or debate—about the deep processes that governed the course of human life long before, and continue to govern it in any era.
The novel “The Spanish Ballad” is published for the first time in a new translation.
