GOETHE'S FAUST, translated by Walter Kaufman (Anchor, $1.45)
Page 13
There is no need, of course, to provide a plot summary of one of the most famous works in literature. What should be pointed out to the University student is that which singles out this particular "Faust."
These would seem to be the key points. It is an attractive, well bound volume, with paper that will not curl or turn brown in a few weeks. It has, printed on the right hand page, the English text; on the left the German. It appears to be
as close as a translation into English can be.
Reviewers praised this as the best translation of "Faust." And Kaufmann provides what may be one of the longest and most detailed introductions on record.
AMOROUS TALES FROM THE DECAMERON, translated by Rex Benedict (Crest. 50 cents).
Here are 23 of the racy tales of Boeceacio that have delighted readers since the 14th century. You college boys and girls who want a change from "The Prize" and
"Catch-22" will find some delightful reading here—stories of cuckolds, villains, gossips, monks, always amusing and always perceptive.
SIX SHORT MASTERPIECES BY TOLSTOY, with introduction by F. D. Reeve (Dell Laurel, 75 cents).
Most of the titles in this collection are not well known, though one of them, "The Kreutzer Sonata," has been a controversial title for many years. The range over Tolstoy's career is considerable, titles starting when he was 28 and
extending till he was 75. All of them give illumination into the mind and heart of this complex man.
Besides "Sonata," the works include "Two Hussars," "A Happy Married Life," "Yardstick," "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" and "After the Ball."
PIED PIPER, by Nevil Shute (Popular, 60 cents).
The late Nevil Shute gave us in this wartime novel a warm and
engrossing story that will make good reading. Like the other Shute novels it is low-keyed, and it beautifully develops a portrait of a believable man.
The hero actually is a kind of pied piper, an old man named John Sidney Howard, a Londoner who is caught on the continent when World War II breaks out, and finds himself leading, one at a time, outcast victims of war—children—to safety.
