Great German Short Stories

As someone who likes reading short stories and also works of world literature, I have been collecting and reading short stories from various countries and was pleased to come across the immensely affordable Dover Thrift Editions. The book itself may not be of superior quality, but neither is it of inferior quality. The covers are beautiful and the paper quality is not altogether fine [rather flimsy in fact], but once again, it's value for money. The stories featured in this collection are: "Death in Venice" - Thomas Mann [translated by Kenneth Burke] "Flagman Thiel" - Gerhart Hauptmann [translated by Adele S Seltzer] "In the Penal Colony" - Franz Kafka [translated by Stanley Appelbaum] "The Golden Pot" - E.T.A. Hoffmann [translated by Thomas Carlyle] "How Old Timofei Died With a Song" - Rainer Maria Rilke [translated by Stanley Appelbaum] "The Earthquake in Chile" - Heinrich Von Kleist [translated by Stanley Appelbaum] "Lieutenant Gustl" - Arthur Schnitzler [translated by Stanley Appelbaum] "The Story of the Just Casper and Fair Annie" - Clemens Brentano [translated by Carl F Schreiber] I'd highly recommend this collection to fans of the genre and those who like world literature.
