    In diesem Herbste war Severin dreiundzwanzig Jahre alt geworden. Wenn er des Nachmittags, von quälender Bureauarbeit zerrüttet, nach Hause kam, warf er sich auf das schwarzlederne Sofa in seiner Kammer und schlief bis zum Abend. Erst wenn draußen die Laternen angezündet wurden, ging er auf die Gasse. Nur im Sommer, wenn die Tage lang und glühend waren, fand er noch die Sonne auf seinen Wegen durch die Stadt. Oder auch an den Sonntagen, wo der ganze Tag ihm gehörte und er auf seinen Wanderungen seiner kurzen Studentenzeit gedachte.Severin hatte nach zwei oder drei Semestern seine Studien aufgegeben und eine Stellung angenommen. Nun saß er während der Vormittage in dem häßlichen Bureau und hielt sein kränkliches und bartloses Bubengesicht über die Zahlenreihen gebeugt. Ein ungesunder und nervöser Mißmut kroch mit der Zimmerkälte durch seinen Körper und dann wurde auch die Unruhe in ihm wach. Das einförmige Gleichmaß machte seine Hände zittern. Eine lästige Müdigkeit bohrte in seinen Schläfen und er drückte mit den Fingern die Augäpfel in den Kopf bis sie schmerzten.

    Blaugast is a tale of ruin. A bored clerk, Klaudius Blaugast, pursues his desires down a path spiraling into complete degradation. Homeless and destitute, having lost everything at the hands of the evil prostitute Wanda, he seeks redemption in a Prague that has become sybaritic and uncaring - a city in which he has become an outcast. Flashbacks to his past, hallucinatory revelations of the meaning of events long forgotten, point to the seeds of his eventual downfall. Leppin's final novel, which he never saw published (the manuscript languished for decades after his death in the archives in Prague), Blaugast is an indictment of the despotic and vulgar, an exploration of the sadistic tendencies found among the "moral" and "respectable." Max Brod's depiction of Leppin as "a poet of eternal disillusionment, at once a servant of the Devil and an adorer of the Madonna" nowhere rings more true than here.

    Toward the end of his life Leppin wrote: "Prague remains my deepest experience. Its conflict, its mystery, its rat-catcher's beauty have ever provided my poetic efforts with new inspiration and meaning." Others' Paradise represents one of the most intense expressions of this experience. Beginning with the highly imagistic "The Doors of Life," the eight stories contained in this volume detail the contours of the lives and visions of a collection of Prague inhabitants, from a prostitute bound to the decay of the old Jewish quarter, to a man caught in the memory of a lost love, and a shoemaker whose knowledge of the world has been constricted to the view from the window of his cellar workroom. Amidst their differing circumstances what these characters share is an intense desire for lasting human contact and the fated disappointment of all such aspirations. Binding their personal histories, woven into their most intimate details, is Prague itself, the city whose nature, mythical and yet all-too-real, gives shape and force to their desires while simultaneously determining their frustrations.
