| Summary |
"Das Mädchen aus der Feenwelt; oder, Der Bauer als Millionär" by Ferdinand Raimund is a romantic fairy tale written during the early 19th century. The story revolves around themes of love and transformation, as it centers on the character Lakrimosa, a fairy who faces dire consequences after marrying a mortal man, resulting in her daughter Lottchen being caught between the worlds of both fairy and earthly life, with the challenge to redefine her destiny and relationship with her father, Fortunatus Wurzel, a newly wealthy farmer. The opening of this enchanting tale introduces the reader to a magical realm filled with diverse characters like fairies, wizards, and allegorical figures. Lakrimosa, lamenting her banishment from her fairy powers, shares her tragic story with the assembly of magical beings, detailing how she fell in love with a mortal, leading to her daughter's difficult fate. As the plot unfolds, it becomes clear that Lottchen must navigate her father's newfound wealth and the influence of jealousy, which complicates her love for the impoverished fisherman, Karl. The dramatic tension heightens as the fairy beings conspire to assist Lakrimosa, promising to help secure Lottchen's true love against the looming pressures of greed and societal expectations.
