Description
About the Book
Considered as a highly successful example of the German Novella, The Jew's Beech is a prototype of the murder mystery and a thoughtful examination of village society.Book Synopsis
Based on a true story, The Jew's Beech centres on two brutal murders in rural Westphalia - the first of a local forester and the second of a Jewish moneylender near a beech tree - and the impact these events have on the life of Friedrich Mergel, a local herdsman with a turbulent family history.
A prototype of the murder mystery and a thoughtful examination of village society, this intriguing novella contains hints of the Gothic and the uncanny - ominous thunderstorms, mysterious disappearances, eerie doppelgängers and grisly discoveries in the depths of the forest - as well as a famously ambiguous climax.About the Author
