Review

"Praised by no less an authority than Walter Benjamin for its utterly unmagical, deadpan quality, Scheerbart's prose denies easy immersion in the narrative and perhaps confirms that his subject matter is, indeed, indescribable. John A. Stuart's very literal translation captures the tone and the fairy-tale atmosphere of estrangement well."

Publisher's note

The Victorian-era German cult novel, set in the mid-twentieth century, serves up a utopian vision of a future of glass architecture, as the protagonist, Swiss architect Edgar Krug, circumnavigates the globe by airship with his wife, constructing a wild variety of colored-glass buildings in various locales.

Annotation

In this 1900 novel, a Swiss architect who believes that glass buildings can solve the problems of humanity, travels the world, supervising the construction of various glass structures. His wife, who always wears gray, accompanies him.
