Product Overview
The Sorrows of Young Werther brings to life an idyllic German village where a youth on vacation meets and falls for lovely Charlotte. The tragedy unfolds in the letters Werther writes to his friend about Charlottes charms, even after he realizes his love will remain unrequited. Reflections on Werther and Goethe in Sesenheim, collections of excerpts from the authors own memoirs, reveal the genius who, as Nietzsche said, disciplined himself into wholeness. Next is The New Melusina,the delightful story of a pixie princess who assumes the form of a woman as she searches for a human mate. Finally, The Fairy Tale is a sophisticated but strange story in which the laws of nature and physics do not applymingled among its human characters is a cast of two sentient will-o-the-wisps, a giant and his shadow, a talking green serpent, and four metal statues.
