4.0

Eine als Märchen veröffentlichte Novelle voller surrealistischer Gleichnisse und einer der Zeit der Romantik entsprechenden pompös-bildhaften, anmutigen und farbenfrohen Sprache, die mich noch immer aufs Höchste verzückt. Dieses Kunstmärchen unterhält, es lädt zum Eskapismus ein - aber es schult auch, veranschaulicht die Entwicklung von Sprache und Umgangsformen; und es darf als einer der Grundsteine dessen verstanden werden - oder muss es vielleicht sogar - was wir heuer unter Fantasyliteratur verstehen. Ein tolles, inspirierendes Stück!

"Ist denn überhaupt des Anselmus Seligkeit etwas anderes als das Leben in der Poesie, der sich der heilige Einklang aller Wesen als tiefstes Geheimnis der Natur offenbaret?"
