A tranlation of HANS LE FOSSOYEUR (Paris: Les Editions de France: 1931). "A grim tragedy, set in a Bavarian prison, involving the governor, a prisoner, the mistress of Prince Friedrich, and Hans, the prison gravedigger. This short book's vigor of characterization and action raise it far above the average." - The Spectator, November 25, 1932, p. 30. A fine copy.
