Venusmärchen: Geschichten aus einer andern Welt

A collection of short tales and lyrical fables that rework classical myths and original fairy motifs, centering on figures such as Venus, Cupido and Psyche alongside seasonal and urban parables. Narratives and poetic passages alternate to create dreamlike settings in forests, gardens and moonlit scenes, where longing, beauty and desire interact with spiritual yearning. Recurring preoccupations include transformation, ritualized moments and the conflict between idealized devotion and bodily impulse. The pieces favor evocative atmosphere and symbolic detail over extended plot, shifting between tender melancholy, wistful reflection and occasional whimsy to probe inner feeling through mythic imagery.
