Translated and introduced by Malcolm Green.

This anthology contains an astounding selection of German weirdness, fanaticism and general literary extremism. The critical reaction to it was one of astonishment and incomprehension, in particular as regards its mix of world-famous names with figures of utter obscurity, even to specialists — something we still see as a great virtue!
