It is always great to hear of additions to this wonderful translation series. Here, to inspire all of you, is Mr. Bean enjoying some of recent acquisitions (he is also a Jean Paul fan).
Fluffy grey cat lounging on a blue-green sofa: in front of him three red books and one black and red book, Amy Levy's Collected Poems, Jean Paul Prefaces, Anecdoes, and Maria Wutz.

Black and white photo of a shorthaired white cat with black markings on its head and ears. It is being held aloft by white human hands against a dark grey background. It has a thoughtful, serene expression on its face.
