It was a true delight to be able to read it again Many thanks for being able to access this book in 2015 having first read it as a teenager in the late 50's and being enamored by it at that point in my life. It was a true delight to be able to read it again! 1800's author Well told and perfectly written story by a relatively unknown German author in the US. The translation is excellent and accurate. Bees Lake A classical German love story by a master of the novella form, the 'long short story'. All good love stories are sad. This is one of the best and saddest. Written in 1850 by a man who was appropriately called Storm, it was his breakthrough to literary fame and fortune. My biggest surprise at this reading encounter is, that I realize: I never read it before. That's stupid. It's like not knowing a Beethoven string quartet. The story in a nutshell: an old man remembers his childhood infatuation with a girl, and from there we move in stages to the end of their contact: she has married another man, because her mother wanted it that way. The story may be mid 19th century, but it is as contemporary as they come. Storm was a poet and a writer of novellas. He didn't belong to 'romantic' literature, but is classified as 'poetical realist'. Scorned or unconfessed or unanswered, which love is worse? An old fashioned love story, no emails, tweets or tinder.
