Volkmann, Richard von 1830-1889 creator Hahnsson, Theodolinda 1838-1919 text utu 2020 monographic fi 1 online resource : multiple file formats "Unelmia takkavalkean ääressä" by Richard von Volkmann is a collection of fairy tales written in the early 20th century. The tales originate from the author's experiences as a field surgeon during the Franco-Prussian War, and they were initially penned as letters to his children. This collection features whimsical stories filled with moral lessons and enchanting characters, reflecting both human emotions and fantastical elements. The beginning of the collection introduces the reader to a variety of tales, starting with the story of a proud organ builder whose self-importance drives him away from his bride when his masterpiece fails to perform during their wedding. After years of regret exploring the world, he learns of his wife’s demise and ultimately dies at her funeral, only for the organs he created to play beautifully at that moment. This sets the tone for the other stories filled with moral quandaries, deep reflections on love and regret, and magical elements. Each tale invites readers into a world of dreams, reflecting the trials and tribulations of life, wrapped in the charm of classic fairy tale narrations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
