Undine (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169230255)

Undine is a classic fairy tale written by Friedrich de la Motte Fouque. The story follows the lives of two very different characters: a knight named Huldebrand and a water nymph named Undine. Huldebrand is a brave and handsome knight who is on a hunting trip when he encounters Undine, a beautiful and mysterious creature who lives in the water. Despite her strange origins, Huldebrand is immediately drawn to Undine and they fall in love.However, their happiness is short-lived as Huldebrand's friend and advisor, Kuhleborn, warns him that Undine is not human and that their love can never be fully realized. Despite this warning, Huldebrand and Undine continue their relationship and get married. But their union is plagued by strange occurrences and supernatural events, leading Huldebrand to question whether he truly knows the woman he married.As the story unfolds, the reader is taken on a journey through the magical world of the water nymphs and the human world. The themes of love, betrayal, and the struggle between the human and supernatural worlds are explored in depth. Undine is a timeless classic that has captivated readers for generations and continues to be a beloved fairy tale to this day.No other proof can I or will I produce, but this I will affirm in the presence of God. The person who gave me this information was the very same who decoyed the infant Bertalda into the water, and who, after thus taking her from her parents, placed her on the green grass of the meadow, where he knew the duke was to pass.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
