Masterful translations by Leah Goldberg of three musical novellas, by Stefan Zweig, E.T.A. Hoffmann and Edward Murika. Literary miracles happen rarely. As fate would have it, a forgotten and exquisite translation by Leah Goldberg of three works, the common denominator of which is music, came into our hands. Stefan Zweig, Edward Murika and E.T.A. Hoffmann delve in semi-fictional ways into the lives of Handel, Mozart and Chrysler - a literary figure who inspired Robert Schumann to compose the "Kreisleriana" for piano. The book "Musical Novellas" combines emotion, mystery and subtle irony. Leah Goldberg presents translations in a luminous language that she herself invented, of unparalleled quality. This book is published as a tribute to Masada Publishing, where it was first published.
