Editorial Reviews
Die Neue Freie Presse
Hermann Ungar is the most important author of his decade.

Book Description
Josef Blau is a high school teacher in pre WWI Prague. Because he comes from a background less priviledged than that of his pupils, he becomes increasingly insecure -- then devastatingly obsessive. Rigid about order and discipline, he senses his pupils watching him, waiting for the slightest weakness; the least infringement, he feels, will lead to the complete collapse of his tightly-ordered world. His other obsession is his attractive wife. Despite her assurances, he cannot believe she will be faithful to him. He forces her to shave her hair and wear shapeless clothes, yet still cannot conquer his fears. Catastrophe looms.
