Immensee and Other Stories

A romantic tale of an old man reminiscing about his youth and unfulfilled love, Immensee is considered by many to be Theodor Storms most accomplished work, evoking a reality which is veiled and haunted by dreams and illusion. This volume, which also contains Viola Tricolor, the delightful story of a woman coming to terms with her stepdaughter, and Curator Carsten, a sombre account of a young man falling into a life of debauchery, provides a vivid introduction to one of the finest storytellers of German Romanticism.
