His eight plays, of which \u003ci\u003eThe Barometer-Maker\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Diamond of the Spirit King\u003c\/i\u003e are the first two, represent the peak of a long, distinguished tradition in the Viennese popular theater. These plays are a witty and poetic mix of fantastic fairy-tale elements and ironic social commentary. Blending literal accuracy with faithfulness to the lively performability of the original, Edmund Kimbell's translations make these works available and appealing to English-speaking scholars and performers alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judith Zohn,Michael Kimbell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820430188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820430188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Judith Zohn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48241121886463,"sku":"9780820430188","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_10b251c4-3b8a-4438-91ca-e3e07dbe3903.jpg?v=1772652842","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-barometer-maker-on-the-magic-judith-zohn-9780820430188","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
