Book Overview

""Tales By Musaeus, Tieck, Richter V1 (1827)"" is a collection of short stories by three German authors: Johann Karl August Musaeus, Ludwig Tieck, and Jean Paul Friedrich Richter. The book was edited and translated by Thomas Carlyle, a Scottish essayist and historian. The stories in this volume are filled with supernatural elements, Gothic themes, and romanticism. Musaeus' ""The Stolen Veil"" tells the story of a young woman who is kidnapped by a group of fairies, while Tieck's ""The Elves"" follows a young man who falls in love with a fairy. Richter's ""The Invisible Lodge"" is a tale of a secret society that meets in a haunted castle. These stories are not only entertaining, but also offer a glimpse into the literary traditions of Germany during the early 19th century.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
