Eine Halligfahrt

The masterful tale by Theodor Storm about a young man and a young woman and their trip across the sunny North Sea to a lonely Hallig is a melancholic love story set against the backdrop of wonderful depictions of nature. Along with the lovers, readers are told the legend of the downfall of Rungholt and experience a walk along the dike in spring and a boat trip across the Wadden Sea. The Hallig, with its tranquility and isolation, as well as its rough storms, makes the constraints of human society seem petty and insignificant. A moving novella that tells of the great decisions in life and the magic of nature.
