Seller's Description:
London. 2016. January 2016. Angel Books. 1st English Language Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9780946162864. Translated from the German by Denis Jackson. 176 pages. paperback. keywords: Fiction. FROM THE PUBLISHER-‘The Doppelganger' is the story of a reformed ex-prisoner who finds himself an unemployable outcast in mid-19th-century north Germany. The stark events of his life, pieced together after his death, are in sharp contrast to his daughter's tender childhood memories of him. In ‘Aquis submersus, ' the meaning of a mysterious inscription on the portrait of a dead child is gradually unraveled in the course of a story that is both a powerful critique of the landowning Junker class and a tragedy of passion. Praise for Storm's previous work: ‘There is plenty of eerie Germanic mood here, but there is also a fine and tragic story of a man who follows his own path to its final, terrible end.
