Besides there being multiple typos, the unforgivable part is that they claim that it was first published in German in 1920.....I found this to be quite spectacular at first, as the descriptions are without a doubt inspired by a drug experience. This novel was first published in 1952, which makes a lot more sense. I wish that more care had gone into the publishing of this iconic work in English.
