Tales from the Vienna Woods / Ödön von Horváth ; a new version by David Harrower, from a literal translation by Laura Gribble.

Geschichten aus dem Wiener Wald. English.

104 p. ; 20 cm.

Set against the sentimental backdrop of the Vienna Woods and to the distant tune of a Strauss waltz, a community steeped in bigotry concerns itself with love affairs, petty squabbles, jealousies and personal tragedy. Meanwhile, society at large, haunted by inflation, goes reeling toward fascism.
