Sobre IBD

John Galt twice wrote the story of Herman, first as a play and then as a fairytale, first as poetry and then as prose, telling of a scholar who sold his soul in exchange for love. Both versions are available here together for the first time, a unique opportunity to explore a story so captivating that its author couldn’t tell it just the once.The edition is edited by David J. Knight, the General Editor of Vocamus Editions, with a foreword by Ian McGhee, Secretary of the John Galt Society, and with John Galt’s own preface to ''The German’s Tale''. 3
