'as a study of marital relations and adultery it is strangely
topical, with a pitiless psychological insight which is close to
Laclos and the French school'
Brian Fallon, Irish Times
'David Constantine has struck a readable tone that sets the novel
in its time without pastiche. Thanks to the fluidity of
Constantine's prose, Goethe's story succeeds .... in fascinating
and moving us. Constantine has caught the crispness of Goethe's
descriptive language. '
Albert Manguel, Observer
'... superbly translated'
Nicholas Boyle Journal of European Studies, XXIV (1994)
