In 1768, at the age of nineteen, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe began to study hermetic literature. This exploration had a huge impact on the early aesthetic education of Europe?s great man of letters, the last renaissance titan. In the years that followed, Goethe immersed himself in the hermetic tradition, and even set up an alchemic laboratory and attempted to make an elixir of immortality. Although he eventually gave up his alchemical experiments, he was to believe in the validity of the Great Work for the rest of his life.

Alchemic symbolism is prominent in many of Goethe?s works, and it is particularly abundant in the tales of self-mastery and transformation presented in this collection. Included here are new translations of ?Fairy Tale? (?Märchen?), Goethe?s alchemical allegory; ?The Counselor? and ?The New Melusina,? stories of temptation and the tests of love; ?The Good Woman,? a curious discourse on aesthetics and the rights of women; and the lyrical prose masterpiece ?Novelle.? Here also for the first time in English is ?The Magical Flute,? Goethe?s sequel to Mozart?s opera, with themes of initiation, the magical power of music, and liberated genius.
