<p>The last years of the Habsburg monarchy saw a remarkable flowering centered on Vienna and Prague; the music of Mahler and Schoenberg; the paintings of Schiele, Klimt and Kokoschka; the writings of Mach, Freud and Wittgenstein; the poetry of Rilke; the plays of Hofmannsthal; the stories of Kafka. One concern common to much of this work was to attack the widely held assumption about the nature of reality; this prepared the way for a rich harvest of fantasy, especially in the short story and the novel.This book explores this rich vein of the imagination with examples from the major writers -- Hofmannsthal, Rilke and Schnitzler -- as well as from the acknowledged masters of fantastic fiction, such as Gustav Meyrink (the Master of the Occult), Karl Heinz Strobl (the Master of the Macabre), Paul Leppin and Leo Perutz, and writers less immediately associated with fantasy such as Max Brod, Franz Theodor Csokor and Franz Werfel.</p>

Book Typography: A Designer's Manual is a comprehensive guide to typography and typesetting. Books depend on good design to communicate. Every type of book, from a poetry collection to an encyclopedia, has its own style of communication. This manual describes the principles of good design, why they exist, and how to put them to practice. Book Typography leads the reader from an understanding of what is a readable text, through the construction of books through all their different forms - novels, illustrated books and complex reference works. The organization of text and the handling of images are explained in detail. Advice is also given on work progression and print management. Designing books is a visual task and is best demonstrated with visual examples. Book Typography contains over a thousand examples and illustrations showing typographic principles put into practice - from the smallest detail of punctuation to flat plans of entire books. All the samples come from published works and each is labeled with the font used, its size and leading. Additional information and comment is provided in the side notes. Book Typography defines the industry's technical terminology in the chapter, "The Basic Terms of the Trade". An extensive glossary is also included. It is an essential guide for students and recent graduates hoping to work in book design and publishing. Book Typography covers every aspect of the book designer's task, providing an invaluable reference to editors, copy-editors, proofreaders, production managers and publishers. Distributed for Libanus Press. Sales Rights: Worldwide except Europe and the UK; available in Europe and the UK from Libanus Press. 434 pages. paperback. 7.25 x 9.25 inches.
