Synopsis
Excerpt from Magic Ring, Vol. 1 of 3: A Romance, From the German of Frederick Baron De La Motte Fouque
Such are the materials whence Fouque has drawn the machinery of his romances. The white magic of the now converted Druda contends against the black machinations of the infidel Gerda; and as for the Mysterious Ring, it seems to have been only one among other necro mantic spells, though some readers have sup posed that the author hereby intended to allego rize the delusive Spirit of the World, and of the worldly-minded, in opposition to that of pure religion and heavenly affections. Hence the Baron has represented the people of the North as led astray to wage war against all nations and against each other; till at last, by the infin ence of Bertha, (a personification of the true Christian faith) they become harmonized and happily united into one community.
Nothing, you added, can be clearer and more intelligible than this outline; and, if the work were even literally rendered into English, it would present an excellent knightly tale of the olden time,' with a religio-historical moral.
Let this be done, and there need be no doubt entertained of its success.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of early 19th-century German Romanticism, offering readers a glimpse into the literary and cultural landscape of the time. The author's preface sets the stage, revealing their apprehension and delight in embarking on a literary journey reminiscent of a grand voyage across a vast and unpredictable sea. The excerpt introduces us to key figures and themes that promise to shape the narrative. Central to the story is the concept of chivalry, woven into tales of knights, ladies, and magical artifacts. The excerpt hints at a deeper exploration of historical and cultural elements, particularly the influence of Nordic mythology and the legacy of the Normans. The contrasting forces of light and darkness, as embodied by the white magic of Druda and the black machinations of Gerda, suggest a moral and allegorical dimension to the work. Through vivid descriptions of tournaments, pilgrimages, and encounters with mystical beings, the book promises to transport readers to a bygone era where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. The author's exploration of chivalry, magic, and historical influences offers a captivating lens through which to examine the enduring power of storytelling and the timeless human search for meaning and purpose.
