Musical novellas

Masterful translations by Leah Goldberg of three musical novellas, by Stefan Zweig, A. T. A. Hoffmann and Edward Murica. Literary miracles happen on rare occasions. As fate would have it, a forgotten and excellent translation by Leah Goldberg of three works, the common denominator between which is music, came into our hands. Stefan Zweig, Edward Merika and A.T.A. Hoffman dives in semi-fictional ways into the lives of Handel, Mozart and Kreisler - a literary character who inspired Robert Schumann to compose the "Kreisleriana" for piano. The book "Musical Novels" combines emotion, mystery and subtle irony. Leah Goldberg provides translations in a glamorous language that she herself invented, with an incomparable quality. This book is published as a tribute to Masada Publishing, where it was first published.
