The work stands within classics and gives modern readers direct access to a public-domain classic with navigable structure and a restrained typographic presentation. The opening pages establish the book's atmosphere with this first movement: It was about this time, said Christian, that, poor as a church rat, I had taken shelter in the roof-loft of an old house in the Eue des Minnesängers, at Nuremberg.
I had made my nest in an angle of the roof. The slates served me for walls, and the roof-tree for a ceiling: I had to walk over my straw This edition is suited to readers who want a reliable, uncluttered version of the text for study, rediscovery, and sustained reading.
