The German Classics, v. 20 by Kuno Francke
"The German Classics, v. 20" by Kuno Francke is a collection of significant works from German literature translated into English, likely compiled in the early 20th century. This volume features contributions from various authors, including Jakob Wassermann and Bernhard Kellermann, with selections that span dramatic pieces and short stories, reflecting the rich tapestry of contemporary German literary themes. The collection indicates a focus on the interplay of personal and societal issues, particularlywithin contemporary drama, suggesting a deep exploration of human emotion and moral dilemmas. The opening of the collection introduces "Clarissa Mirabel," a story beginning with the mysterious death of lawyer Fualdes, whose body is discovered by villagers, leading to speculation about murder. The narrative unfolds against a backdrop of suspicion and tension in the small town of Rodez, as townsfolk speculate on the causes and culprits behind Fualdes's demise. As accusations circulate, the character of Bastide Grammont emerges, seemingly entangled in the chaos surrounding the investigation. Clarissa Mirabel, the daughter of the local president, finds herself drawn into the unfolding drama, her own romantic history intertwining with the central murder mystery, setting the stage for intrigue and exploration of personal and societal dynamics.
