Krátky popis
The three stories in this collection, which first appeared in the
press in the 1840s and were posthumously published as a collection
at the end of the century, offer a Romantic and folkloric vision of
Jewish culture in Prague. The first story, "Genenda”, displays
Kapper's operatic eye for detail and drama with its account of a
dutiful rabbi's daughter being swept away by a dashing young man, a
Christian nobleman disguised as a Jew, a deceit that ends in
tragedy. "The Curious Guest” is an intricate tale of a quest for
wisdom and power that inevitably leads to the undoing of the
arrogant protagonist. The final story, "Glowing Coals”, is a
supernatural tale of romantic desire and revenge, displaying
Kapper's skill at deploying the tropes of folklore for dramatic
literary effect. The collection not only provides a colorful
snapshot of nineteenth-century Czech-Jewish culture but also
resonates with universal human themes that transcend a single
national experience.
