Description

Book Synopsis
A romantic tale of an old man reminiscing about his youth and unfulfilled love, ‘Immensee’ is considered by many to be Theodor Storm’s 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.

Trade Review
Immensee is leisured and precise, its hypnotic prose bringing speculation continually to mind, the account of a lifetime coming at its own pace, almost writing itself in the way a masterpiece sometimes is produced, never a note wrong, or a word to jar. -- Alan Sillitoe
