«Das Marmorbild» is the novella by Joseph von Eichendorff, published by Reclam Philipp Jun. in paperback (80 pages, in German).
The young poet Florio travels to Lucca and meets Fortunato and Donati, figures who embody redemptive poetry and temptation. Fascinated by a marble statue of Venus, Florio enters a dreamlike world in which ideal beauty is confused with danger, until music and song return him to reality. The narrative, set in Renaissance Italy, interweaves German Romanticism with symbolic motifs about art, faith and desire.
Work originally published in 1819; this 2008 edition includes notes by Ursula Regener and an epilogue by Fred Lönker, and belongs to Reclams Universal-Bibliothek (no. 18539).
Recommended as school and study reading for German Romanticism, especially for those preparing for the German Abitur in several federal states.
