Talisman Ring

Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué, one of the leading writers of early German romanticism, first made his voice known to the world with Undine , in which he told the story of the legend of the water nymph.

The Talisman Ring , which inspired Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings , is a work that reflects the author's interest in Scandinavian sagas and myths, the knight narratives of the Middle Ages and the values these narratives represent. This knightly novel, crowned with fairies, ghosts and forest sprites, with the Crusades in its background; It is also the epic of brave heroes who set out on the road for justice and peace, the difficulties encountered on these roads, ancient friendships established, loyalty and, of course, the strong loves that blossomed.

“(…) a person should go wherever the longing within him draws him. If he sets out with this intention, he should be able to wash away the burdens on his shoulders and all the blessings of the earth with the back of his hand.”
