In these sensitive and accurate versions by acclaimed translator Anthony Mortimer, Meyer's achievement is available to anglophone readers for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Conrad Ferdinand Meyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1847495265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847495266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alma Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Conrad Ferdinand Meyer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48520045134079,"sku":"9781847495266","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b880db49-e4dc-4aa9-b5d7-e87b363960eb.jpg?v=1778740401","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/footprints-conrad-ferdinand-meyer-9781847495266","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
