A romantic tale of an old man reminiscing about his youth and unfulfilled love, "Immensee" is considered by many to be Theodor Storm's most accomplished work, evoking a reality which is veiled and haunted by dreams and illusion.This volume, which also contains "Viola Tricolor", the delightful story of a woman coming to terms with her stepdaughter, and "Curator Carsten", a sombre account of a young man falling into a life of debauchery, provides a vivid introduction to one of German Romanticism's finest storytellers.
