Antología bilingüe de textos de Jean Paul (Johann Paul Friedrich Richter), uno de los escritores más influyentes del Romanticismo alemán de los ss. XVIII-XIX, en torno a la inexistencia de Dios y sus

Johann Paul Friedrich Richter, más conocido como Jean Paul, es uno de los más grandes estilistas de la lengua alemana. Para nosotros es un honor publicar dos de sus mejores nouvelles: El viaje del rector Falbel y sus alumnos de ultimo curso al Fichtelberg y Vida del risueño maestrillo Maria Wutz en Auenthal. Como señala Isabel Hernandez en el epilogo, precisamente en estos dos relatos el lector puede observar el estilo caracteristico de Jean Paul: la descripcion de la realidad desde una perspectiva satirica y burlona domina su produccion, marcada fundamentalmente por el uso de la prosa, ya fuera en forma de relato breve, de novela, de satira o de ensayo, pues esta forma le parecio siempre la mas adecuada para dar expresion a los problemas de la realidad cotidiana, por un lado, y para dar rienda suelta a su fantasia, por otro. En la primera, a traves de Falbel, un personaje comico desde todo punto de vista, Jean Paul critica el estilo pomposo, plagado de citas, de los programas de los liceos, asi como la moda de los viajes escolares de caracter filantropico. La segunda es una historia inocente sin mas: la de un pobre hombre que, aun inmerso en la mas terrible necesidad, es capaz de superar todas las adversidades gracias a la alegria de su corazon, y que vive y muere sintiendose absolutamente satisfecho con todo. Jean Paul es uno de nuestros grandes (...), uno de entre aquellos veinte por los cuales me batiria contra todo el mundo. Arno Schmidt
