German Refugees

Více o knize

Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, a displaced German noble family grapples with internal conflicts, particularly between young Karl, a revolutionary supporter, and the others. To alleviate tensions, the Baroness proposes storytelling as a diversion. The collection features seven tales, including two ghost stories, two romantic anecdotes, and two moral narratives, culminating in Goethe's elaborate and symbolic "Fairy Tale," which ties the themes together in a fantastical conclusion.
