IMMENSEE.

By THEODORE STORM.

Translated from the German by Irma A. Heath.

"Immensee," the translation here presented, is Storm's best-known work. Published in 1852 when he was still a young author, it reveals, perhaps, better than his later stories, the real turn of Storm's mind. Although the little tale may be too full of sentiment to appeal entirely to the highly critical student of literature, yet the fact still remains that it has constantly maintained its place in the hearts of the public since the day it was issued, and is at present in something like the thirtieth edition. "Immensee" of all his works is most beloved. Storm fills us with a mournful pity when he tells us how two hearts were denied their rightful portion of human joy; but sadder than the pity awakened is the thought that " Immensee" is a just criticism of life—(From Introduction.)
