Burlesken

In this new and annotated edition of a book from 1899, Julius Stettenheim (1831-1916) provides an humorous take on events in his time, e.g. the First Hague Peace Conference or the Lippe-Detmold inheritance dispute. The book includes an introduction on the author and background, and is richly annotated with explanations for uncommon and obsolete words as well as information on persons, events, and general background.
