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.
g defiance to a chieftain whom they detested, and thus exciting a feud. At that season of the year, when his winter dreams had just passed off, Sintram was always unusually fierce and disposed for warlike adventures. And this day he was enraged at the chieftain for not coming in arms from his castle to hinder their hunting; and he cursed, in the wildest words, his tame patience and love of peace. Just then one of his wild young companions rushed towards him, shouting joyfully: "Be content my dear young lord! I will wager that all is coming about as we and you wish; for as I was pursuing a wounded deer down to the sea-shore, I saw a sail and a vessel filled with armed men making for the shore. Doubtless your enemy purposes to fall upon you from the coast."

He looked royally around him; and his countenance, which dark brown locks shaded, was pleasant to behold; and a well-trimmed moustache fringed his mouth, from which, as he smiled, gleamed forth two rows of pearl-white teeth.

A feeling came across Sintram that he must already have seen this knight somewhere; and he stood motionless for a few moments. But suddenly he raised his hand, to make the agreed signal of attack

I knew I needed to read this book after reading The Heir of Redclyffe as this book played a huge role in that book. I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much as I did, if I didn't know that this book played a huge role in that book as well as is mentioned in many other works, including Little Wo

This was an interesting book... to say the least. It was quite short-- but very powerful.
I loved how the author stresses the importance of prayer and how it can strengthen one and protect one from evil.
I also liked the way he depicted religious life. Their life to pray for people in great temptati

Dear me. I thought "Undine" was a bit hysterical, but this tosh is worse! I just cannot see why either Jo March or the characters in "The Heir of Redclyffe" had such a high opinion it. Alcott and Yonge could both write heartfelt stories about realistic people which are genuinely affecting, so why di
