The nineteen stories contained herein, all beautifully translated for the first time into English by Sue Boswell, combine work published by Marcel Schwob (1867-1905) in newspapers together with manuscripts never published in his lifetime.

From historical pieces, such as Poupa , an early unfinished novel which takes place in ancient Rome, to horrific tales, such as The Hand of Glory and The Maison Close , and others, such as On Umbrellas , which are completely unclassifiable, the present collection displays the diversity and genius of one of France’s greatest yet largely forgotten writers.
