Deftly poised between poetry and farce, The Cunning Little Vixen focuses on two characters, the forester Bartos, a man coming to grips with nature, and Vixen Sharp-Ears, an innocent who abandons innocence in order to survive and emerges as one of the most memorable heroines in Middle European fiction.
