Winter in Bavaria

Main Article Content

Anthony Stephens

Abstract

"A Winter In Bavaria" was written on location in Regensburg, Germany, and is the first-hand account of a cataclysm, already predicted by Nostradamus, which changed the direction of Bavarian culture forever. Anything vaguely resembling an allusion to any real person or institution is entirely coincidental, has no foundation in fact and is clearly the product of a mind estranged - except that Bavarian beer is, by and large, still to be highly recommended.

Anthony Stephens, U Sydney

Anthony Stephens was born in Haberfield, New South Wales, in the darkest hours of World War II. Succumbing in his youth to the illusion that Gothic novels had been written by the Goths, he wasted an inordinate amount of time studying Germanic Philology until he achieved illumination by reading the works of H.P.Lovecraft. By then it was too late, and he was already Professor of German at the University of Melbourne. Fleeing to Sydney to escape a purge of humorists, he is now Head of the School of Languages and Cultures at Sydney University and McCaughey Professor of Germanic Studies.
