Adalbert Stifter: Bergkristall. First published in 1845 in the magazine "Die Gegenwart" under the title "Der heilige Abend". Complete new edition. Edited by Karl-Maria Guth. Berlin 2016. Cover design by Thomas Schultz-Overhage using the image: Ludwig Richter, Illustration for the story "Bergkristall", 1853. Set in Minion Pro, 11 pt.

About the author: Adalbert Stifter grows up in austere conditions in the Bohemian Forest before moving to Vienna, where he oscillates between a bourgeois profession and his artistic endeavors as a painter and writer. Temporarily very successful as a novelist, he falls into deep crises after devastating critiques, including from Hebbel. In 1854, he finds financial stability as a school councilor, which leaves him intellectually unchallenged and allows him to create his artistic counterworld. Struggling with health issues from years of alcohol abuse, Stifter takes his own life in January 1868. The ethical power of the "gentle law" in the interplay of the highs and lows of nature and humanity is his central theme. His detailed narratives are among the major works of realism.
