Kurt Gerlach The road to Prague Roman Book equipment by H. M. Bungter. Binden 9,50 Mk, kart. 7,50 MK. The road to Prague is now again significant, as in the Middle Ages, when ironworks and coal miles smoked on the Kulmer Steige and the Hussite carriages creaked over the mountains to Emperor Sigismund's riding. Hans Horn, a runaway monk from the Old Cell, comes to colourful and richly necessary actions and events, to fight against Kriebstein, to the moved Constance Council, to Prague and to the great battle in which he remains, the kingdom's blood flag in the hand. Brother-in-law Hehde continues his Hammerwerksleben, also he over Scholarenzeit, Kriegsmannszeug and Burse in Prague, over the firm Karlsteinburg to the victim of the fourteen emergency helpers at the old lime kiln of Gottlieuba. What strange heart-grabbing figures about these heavy, tough men! Schmied Zürigen with the iron hook instead of the left hand, the Bohemian Kloß, to which the rats in turn Michulka scratched the vines, the valiant Marie from the washing place on the Vltava, the blind weaver from the golden coil, the Czech Jan Sirb, Jakob Rote and Jakob Schwarze, the mountain writer Mak Eifelt and time and again the silverser, who glows from the inside, the godly knight Markwart and the Langermannbauer with his Trud, the friends Gertrud and Elisabeth and the vain basket with the pointed shoes and the spotless death in honor! GS rolls a picture over the anze meiknischen land from the Schovenfluke to Frauenstein, over the Elbe Mountains and the wet Laussig, over Brür and the burning Aussig to Kuttenberg and to the Witkowbera. colorful, lively, memorable. The old mining in the Osterz Mountains shines in strong colors. Pochhammer and racing stove, lime stove and village. In the downfall of the village, the faithful attitude of meiknian men and the capable attitude of the young mothers, who have their roots there, as the hero Hans Horn roots in the cradle in Grune with the blossoming cherry tree.
