As Anselmus delves deeper into the world of magic, he must confront his own fears and desires in order to navigate the dangerous and unpredictable terrain of the supernatural realm. The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a classic work of German Romanticism, filled with vivid imagery, philosophical musings, and darkly fantastical themes.1927. Illustrated by Mahlon Blaine.
