Two German Tales

Romantic intrigue and thrilling mystery define this collection of two short stories by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe. "Die Neue Melusine" explores the passionate yet troubled love between Felix and the enigmatic Melusine, whose hidden secret looms over their relationship. In contrast, "Der Tote Gaft" delves into a murder investigation in a small town, where detective Gaft unravels a complex web of deceit. This anthology exemplifies Goethe's storytelling prowess, blending romance and suspense, and remains an essential piece of German literary heritage.
