«Das Wirtshaus im Spessart» is the classic book of tales by Wilhelm Hauff, published by SWAN Buch-Vertrieb GmbH in paperback, in German.
A group of travellers spends the night at an inn in the Spessart forest, an area feared for its bandits. To calm their fear, they take turns telling stories: the legend of the Hirschgulden, «Das kalte Herz», the fates of Said and the cave of Steenfoll. They are tales of mystery and folklore that mix the marvellous with everyday life.
Work originally published in 1827; this 1999 edition has 217 pages and belongs to the collection «Die deutschen Klassiker».
For readers of traditional tales and German folklore, with an interest in classic nineteenth-century narrative.
Wilhelm Hauff was a German poet and novelist known for his stories and novels. Raised in Stuttgart and educated in Tübingen, he wrote fairy tales such as Der kleine Muck and Das kalte Herz, the historical romance Lichtenstein, and the parody Der Mann im Mond. He died of typhoid fever at age 24. Blending exotic and fantastic motifs with German settings, his tales remain popular in German-speaking countries.
