Dichter Denker Und Erzahler: A German Reader

Dichter Denker Und Erzahler: A German Reader by Ehrlich, Edith. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780881334326.

PUBLISHED IN GERMAN. This well-known compilation for intermediate and advanced readers of German serves well as an introduction to the range of German literature and thought from the eighteenth century to the present. The texts in each of the four sections are arranged in chronological sequence. At the same time, the first three parts are graded; selections in Part I presuppose less knowledge of German and offer more explanatory comments than the more complex Part II and III. Helpful features include lists of vocabulary, short introductory passages to each writer and their work, footnotes to facilitate reading comprehension, and a 172-page vocabulary list.
