The New Melusina (Fantasy and Horror Classics)
About this book
From the towering genius of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Germany's most celebrated literary figure and the author of Faust,comes this enchanting and profound fairy tale of love, illusion, and transformation.
The New Melusina (Die neue Melusine) is a beautiful short story rooted in ancient European folklore. It follows a reckless young man who becomes utterly devoted to a mysterious and beautiful woman. Their romance takes a fantastic turn when he discovers her incredible secret: she is a magical being bound to an occasional, dramatic transformation that shrinks her to the size of a doll. Equipped with a magical ring, the man himself shrinks to join his bride, entering her intricate, miniature kingdom hidden within a beautiful casket. Goethe uses this captivating fantasy to explore the profound questions of true love, the power of illusion, and the sacrifices required for happiness across wildly different realities.
This timeless story is an exquisite piece of German Romanticism and a celebrated example of classic literary fantasy fiction.
