Helles und Dunkles by Roy Temple House and Johannesburg Malthaner - 1948: An Intermediate German Reader

This book is in good condition. There's a significant amount of wear on the front, back, spine and edges of the cover boards. The corners are bumped badly. The previous owners names are written on the inside of the front cover board. There are also markings on the front end page. The pages are tanned and there are pencil markings throughout the pages.

"This collection of short stories is the fruit of an extensive search for profitable modern reading material for second-year students. The twenty-five stories which constitute it are the work of twenty-two different authors (all of them contemporary or nearly so), and offer a wide variety of theme and treatment. For the most part they are agreeably representative of characteristic aspects of German life and character. Only one story, Friedrich, is by a non-German writer. Anglo-Saxon readers may be struck by the sentimental strain in most of these authors; but sentimentality is a characteristic of the German, and we must take him as he is...." - Preface from Helles und Dunkles: An Intermediate German Reader
