Book excerpt: A collection of vital autobiographical pre-WWI prose from the great German-Jewish writer Never before translated into English, this trio of works finds one of the greatest German writers of the 20th century mythologizing her own pursuit of freedom in captivatingly original fiction. In The Peter Hille Book (1906), Else Lasker-Schüler offers an elegy for her arch-bohemian mentor. But this hypnotic blend of Nietzsche, fairy tale and paganism also celebrates the one Hille called 'Tino'--the author herself--and the electrifying uncertainties of the creative life. In the 1907 text The Nights of Tino of Baghdad she sends her alter ego on a heady voyage through an imagined 'Orient'. From the banks of the Nile the narrative advances across a wide emotional landscape, using Muslim and Jewish motifs to explore the commonalities of Semitic identity. Finally, Lasker-Schüler's avatar encounters dervishes, biblical figures and a 20-year-old foetus in The Prince of Thebes. Issued on the eve of World War One, this sequence of dark fables seethes with violence and eroticism, culminating in a great clash of civilizations in which Tino leads the charge. An insightful afterword details the genesis of these Three Prose Works in the context of the author's tumultuous life. Fiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miscellaneous Prose Works, Vol. 2 of 3 Authors, seen in the body, are expected to be exactly like what the readers of their books choose to imagine them. And when they differ from such visionary type they are regarded with an indignation akin to that which is felt for an impostor. If a philosopher profound as Aristotle present himself to the eye, as Aristotle is said to have done, sprucely dressed as a youthful gallant, or a poet charming as Goldsmith contrast the beauty and grace of his verse by homely features and a clownish address, resentful admirers pass at once into the ranks of malignant critics. Out of this kind of disappointment has arisen a very popular notion that authors are altogether insincere deceivers, and that their books convey no likeness of their real characters as men. But if the personal appearance of an author disappoint the spectator, it does not necessarily follow that he is an impostor; nay, he would perhaps be more justly exposed to that charge if, instead of disappointing, he had realized the popular expectation.
