Love on the surface and a beckoning queen in the deep pull a young sailor-turned-miner toward a fatal choice in one of the most beautiful tales in all of German Romanticism.
First published in 1819 and later gathered into The Serapion Brethren, The Mines of Falun draws on a true Swedish mining tragedy to tell of Elis Frobom, torn between his living bride and the glittering, otherworldly summons of the underground. Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (1776 - 1822), jurist, composer, and one of Romanticism's defining voices, turns geology into myth and desire into doom.
Read & Co. Books is honoured to return this beloved Romantic tale to print in a beautiful keepsake edition.
