Dyk uses the tale as a loose frame for his story of a mysterious wanderer, outcast, and would-be revolutionary--a dreamer typical of fin de si cle Czech literature who serves Dyk as a timely expression of the conflict between the petty concerns of bourgeois nineteenth-century society and the coming artistic generation. Impeccably rendered into English by Mark Corner, \u003ci\u003eThe Pied Piper\u003c\/i\u003e retains the beautiful style of Dyk's original Czech. The inspiration for several theatrical and film adaptations, including a noted animated work from critically acclaimed director Jiř  Barta, Dyk's classical novella is given new life by Corner's translation, proving that the piper is open to new interpretations still.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Viktor Dyk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8024634406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788024634401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Karolinum Press, Charles University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 125\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 5.10w x 0.40d","brand":"Viktor Dyk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075237474559,"sku":"9788024634401","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d21860de-aad4-4287-a949-8a6e1804bce3.jpg?v=1685458391","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-pied-piper-viktor-dyk-9788024634401","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
