The Nurnberg Stove is a classic novella by the English author Ouida. It tells the story of a young girl named Ottilie, who lives with her grandmother in a small village in Germany. Ottilie is poor and has no toys or luxuries, but she is content with her simple life. One day, a wealthy merchant comes to the village and gives Ottilie a beautiful Nurnberg stove as a gift. The stove is a marvel of craftsmanship, with intricate carvings and a glowing fire that seems to come alive. Ottilie is overjoyed and spends all her time admiring and tending to the stove. However, her grandmother warns her that the stove may have a dark side, and that it could bring trouble to their household. As Ottilie becomes more and more obsessed with the stove, she begins to neglect her duties and her relationships with the people around her. Eventually, she learns the true cost of her obsession and must face the consequences of her actions. The Nurnberg Stove is a timeless tale about the dangers of materialism and the importance of appreciating the simple things in life.It was very dark in the closed truck, which had only a little window above the door; and it was crowded, and had a strong smell in it from the Russian hides and the hams that were in it.
