Neuerscheinungen, edited by Daniela Comani, presents books we all know — familiar classics from the shelf, from Dostoevsky, Cervantes, Flaubert and Hemingway to Saint-Exupéry and Robert Musil — all evidently read, with a certain patina, traces of use. Only at second glance do the titles irritate. Do you know The Sisters Karamazov, Doña Quixote, Monsieur Bovary, The Old Woman and the Sea, La Petite Princesse or The Woman Without Qualities? Predominantly male protagonists of world literature undergo a wondrous transformation.
