The Legend of the Third Dove: a German Short Story Classic

About This Novel
German literature is famous for its poetry and "novelles" (short stories). Most of the famous German writers have written some excellent short stories and short stories. Short and medium-sized novels in German-speaking countries, especially short stories based on one moment and one event, have the advantage of seeing the big from the small. Like mountain flowers and weeds with strong vitality, they grow everywhere in German-speaking countries and develop in colorful ways. The novels of Romantic writers such as Hoffmann exude the fragrance of mysterious "orchids"; the works of Swiss novelists such as Gotthelf are filled with the bright sunshine and fresh air of the Alps; the novels of Sturm, who grew up on the coast of the North Sea, are always like a layer of mist, filled with desolate and soft poetry... This book selects and translates famous works of German literature masters such as Goethe, Heine, Zweig, and Kafka. The title of this book comes from a story in Genesis. The story tells that Noah, the ancestor of mankind, sent a dove out of the ark to find out news when the flood on the earth began to recede. However, after he sent out the third dove, this dove never returned and there was no news. The author uses this fable to condemn the imperialist world war and express his deep concern for the fate of mankind.
