House of the Nine Devils: Selected Bohemian Tales

Collected here and translated into English for the first time are some of most renowned Bohemian stories by Prague native Johannes Urzidil, an author who has long been unjustifiably neglected. His blend of fiction, memoir, and reportage offers a wholly original vision of time and place, all of it imbued with a deep sense of empathy and irony. As the youngest member of the Prague Circle that included Max Brod, Franz Kafka, and Franz Werfel, Urzidil represented the last link to that symbiotic milieu of Prague German-Jewish artists.
