This novel, while less well known than his book \u003ci\u003eDebit and Credit\u003c\/i\u003e, provides the reader with an excellent opportunity to read the work of one of Germany's most acclaimed authors of the nineteenth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe action of \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Manuscript\u003c\/i\u003e is split between two seemingly opposing but ultimately complimentary locales: a rural farm located in Germany's vast countryside, and a bustling university located in the city of Leipzig. The story is the tale of a young German professor that becomes so deeply engaged in his studies and the search for a manuscript by Tacitus that he fails to become aware of an imminent personal tragedy. Freytag's story is ultimately about the transmigration of souls, and the connective tissues that so deeply connect all humans to each other and the world around us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile Freytag does not enjoy the popularity of some of his contemporaries, his work is every bit as affecting and influential as the work of many of the more well known authors of the nineteenth century. \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Manuscript\u003c\/i\u003e is a beautiful and touching novel, and while less acclaimed than \u003ci\u003eDebit and Credit\u003c\/i\u003e, is an excellent example of Freytag's command of storytelling. This is a novel of the highest order, and one that deserves to be read and studied by modern students.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Lost Manuscript\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent piece of fiction that excels both on its own merits and as an introduction into the work of this great German author. This book will appeal to all fans of general fiction, and in particular those who are fond of nineteenth century literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Publisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
