About this book
Gottfried Nothafft, a weaver in the small town of Eschenbach, and his wife Marian have been married since 1849 and long for a child. That is where Jakob Wassermann's German novel begins, in farmland of forests and geese near Ansbach. Chapters have titles such as The Nero of To-day, Philippina Starts a Fire, The Promethean Symphony and Dorothea. The title, Das Gänsemännchen in German, refers to a well-known statue in Nuremberg. Ludwig Lewisohn translated the first chapter and part of the second, and Allen W. Porterfield the rest.
