Product Information

One amongst the crowd gave a terrible shout, he felt like he had stepped into a glowing nail, as if somebody nailed his foot onto the ground with a glowing nail, as if fire coursed through the core of his bones. The crowd spread apart and all eyes where on the foot which the hand of the crying was reaching for. But on the foot sat black and huge the spider and gaped around resentfully and gloatingly.

Der Bergkristall by Stifter

Two children get lost in the blowing snow on Christmas Eve and hide in a glacier cave. They see themselves caught in crystal ice where they find out only until the next morning with the help of the village. Stifter versifies the relatively simple story with few means to an intensive impression. The snow falling steadily and the children marching unwaveringly makes the reader feel a mysterious unity. The image of the snowfall is one of Stifter stylistic masterly-achievements. Adalbert Stifter: Der Bergkristall. Hard cover in a slipcase, 319 pages, 38 x 53 mm, Miniaturbuchverlag Leipzig.
