Beschreibung

A stranger with a magical fife promises to rid the rat-infested town of Hamelin of its vermin for the sum of one hundred Rhine ducats. Viktor Dyk's rendition of the medieval Saxon legend of the pied piper masterfully blends lyrical prose with early twentieth century modernism, and has held its own among works of Eastern European literature for over a hundred years. Now this Czech classic is introduced in English translation for the first time.

Über den Autor

Viktor Dyk was born in 1877 in PSkov near M?lník. He was a prominent Czech writer, poet, playwright, literary translator, political writer and politician. He completed a degree in law at Charles University in Prague. In 1907 he became an editor for the magazine Lumir, a literary journal that sought to elevate Czech literature to a global level. As a member of the Constitutional Progressive Party, he entered politics in 1911 when he ran as candidate for election to the Imperial Council. For his subversive writings advocating the secession of Bohemia and Moravia from Austro-Hungarian Empire, Dyk was jailed in Vienna from 1916 until 1917. In 1918 he became one of the founding members of the Czechoslovak National Democracy Party, a conservative nationalist political party. In 1920 he was elected as a member of parliament and often opposed the policies of Tomas Garrigue Masaryk, the first president of Czechoslovakia. As a politician, Viktor Dyk continued to write. He was an editor for the Narodní Listy (National Leaflets), a conservative newspaper. He died of a heart attack in 1931 while vacationing by the Adriatic Sea in Croatia.
