    About this audiobook

    Friedrich de la Motte Fouque, also the author of Undine, was a German Romantic writer whose stories were filled with knights, damsels in distress, evil enchantments, and the struggle of good against overpowering evil. 'My strength is as the strength of ten, Because my heart is pure.' Fouque blends the Romantic love for nature and ancient chivalry while telling a powerful story about a young man who yearns for that which he can never attain. (Summary by Alisson Veldhuis)

    Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué

    Friedrich de la Motte-Fouqué was a German writer of the Romantic style. He was born at Brandenburg an der Havel, of a family of French Huguenot origin. Although not originally intended for a military career, Fouqué ultimately gave up his university studies at Halle to join the army, and he took part in the Rhine campaign of 1794. The rest of his life was devoted mainly to literary pursuits. Fouqué’s first marriage was unhappy and soon ended in divorce. His second wife, Caroline Philippine von Briest, enjoyed some reputation as a novelist in her day. After her death, Fouqué married a third time. He died in 1843, at age sixty-five, in Berlin.
