Beschreibung

In "Henry of Ofterdingen," Novalis masterfully presents a rich tapestry of romantic idealism intertwined with a quest for self-discovery. This narrative follows the young poet Henry as he embarks on a profound journey through both the external world and his inner psyche, searching for the mystical blue flower'Äîa potent symbol of unattainable desires and spiritual fulfillment. The novella's lyrical prose and philosophical depth highlight Novalis's melding of romanticism with metaphysical inquiry, positioning the work within the broader context of early German Romantic literature, which sought to explore the relationship between the individual and the universe. Novalis, born Georg Philipp Friedrich Freiherr von Hardenberg, was a pivotal figure in the early Romantic movement, greatly influenced by his experiences in the Enlightenment era. His profound fascination with nature, philosophy, and spirituality is deftly woven into the fabric of "Henry of Ofterdingen," reflecting his own existential inquiries following the death of his fianc√©e. This personal tragedy spurred his creative outpourings, allowing him to engage deeply with themes of love, loss, and the longing for transcendence. This remarkable novella is essential reading for those interested in the intricate interplay between poetry and philosophy. It invites readers to contemplate their own aspirations and the deeper meanings of existence, making it an enduring classic that resonates with seekers of beauty and truth.

    JEAN 
    The past has a way of catching up with you, even if you are immortal. I’ve spent thousands of years as the valet and companion to the powerful King of All Shifters. It has been my honor and duty to protect, serve, and advise him. I never intended to fall in love with him. My past is filled with death and bloodshed, but I never once regretted keeping Alarick safe. Now an evil I thought long gone has resurfaced, determined to kill Alarick and plunge the world into chaos. Saving Alarick means revealing the truth about myself. I don’t know what’s worse, failing to protect the king I love, or watching him turn away from me in disgust when he discovers what I really am. 
    KING ALARICK 
    As King of All Shifters, my powers are connected to the cosmos, and I have been around since the dawn of time. There are few things that can kill me. Unfortunately, one of those things has escaped its prison and is set to destroy me. The only weapon that can defeat this creature is the Scythe of Kronos, which has been missing for nearly as long as I have lived. When Jean and I set out on a quest to find the scythe, questions I had long ignored must now be answered. What is Jean’s connection to this evil? Why will he trust me with his life but not his secrets? As my most trusted valet, and my greatest friend, surely nothing that happens along this perilous journey can change what I feel in my heart for him. Or can it?

    Returning to her role as an amateur detective is the last thing library director Amy Muir wants.

With her frosty mother-in-law, Fiona, visiting for the holidays, Amy definitely has enough on her Christmas cookie plate.

The clock is ticking down as Sheriff Brad Tucker is equally sure that Ethan is guilty.
