Fire On The Glacier by Paul Busson is a new translation that has been needed for a long time. I think it is perhaps my favorite book and I feel really good about how the translation came out. It was formerly also titled "The Fire Spirits". I just finished it and it will also be available as a paperback at Lulu.
Herr Peter Storck travels to the Zeitlanghof, his uncle’s home in the Tyrolean mountains to solve the mystery of his uncle’s sudden disappearance. But he is soon embroiled in much more than that. The hardy mountain peasants are on the verge of a bloody revolt to win their freedom. His chance encounter with the beautiful young Fräulein Julia Avorai only deepens the mystery because she is somehow involved with the mysterious fire spirits that are released on the mountain two days a year on the equinoxes. To make matters worse spirits of the dead are possessing people of the local village Sankt Mareiner. Can Peter and his hunter friend Serafin Federspiel get to the bottom of things before it is too late? This is a new translation by Joe E. Bandel.

The Rebirth of Melchior Dronte by Paul Busson a new translation by Joe Bandel.
Sennon Vorauf is “one who has returned”. He has retained or regained the memories of his past life as Baron Melchior Dronte and in this book he tells the life story of the all too human and fallible Baron Dronte. This fascinating story begins with childhood, progresses through an eventful life of strange and at times mystical events as he searches for the mysterious Ewli, Isa Bektschi who is to play an important part in his life. What makes this a classic is the depth of human understanding and compassion with which the author treats this subject. He has truly lived the highs and lows that he expresses so well.
Paperback is also available at Lulu.com
