hmmmm, a lot of Germans this time...
Sagen des Klassischen Altertums by Gustav Schwab
Abenteuer der Silvesternacht by ETA Hoffmann, Phantastik, written wonderfully vivid... see flames dancing on goblets, watch eternal beauties stealing mirror images, smell the sweet scent of bitter almonds, hear the swish of heavy red robes...
The American Senator by Anthony Trollope
Follows a handful of characters through the hunting season in an english town. Game are: foxes, pheasants, rabbits and bachelors. And in the middle of it an American Senator is observing (and commenting) british behaviour. I had some good laughs...
Quote: "Suppose we were to allow at once," she said, "that everything is better in the United States than anywhere else, shouldn't we get along easier?"
*snort*
Disteln für Hagen by Joachim Fernau
Wahrscheinlich liest wieder kein Schwein
Rosen für Apoll by Joachim Fernau
Glenkill by Leonie Swann
Despite the english-sounding title and author a german book, the trnslation is called Three bags full. Sheep investigating the murder of their shepherd, watching the human herds behaviour... and misinterpreting it. It's a lot of fun to follow the sheep's reasoning; with a surprise ending.

Geschichte der deutschen Literatur by Manfred Mai
Das Fräulein von Scuderi by ETA Hoffmann
