The Maimed

Author: Hermann Ungar

Translator: Mike Mitchell  

The Maimed for Stefan Zweig was "wonderful and horrible, captivating and repulsive, unforgettable, although one would be glad to be able to forget it."

"A sexual hell, full of filth, crime and the deepest melancholy - a monomanical digression, if you will, but nevertheless the digression of an inwardly pure artistry.. a masterpiece that would be honoured in any classic oeuvre."

Thomas Mann
