by Ludwig Achim von Arnim from 1812

About

Arnims Isabella von Ägypten (1812) is one of the strangest works of German Romanticism: the young Karl V's first love is the beautiful Romani princess Isabella, whose fate is entangled with alchemy, a mandrake creature, the Golem, and other supernatural figures. The story combines historical fiction with fairy-tale mythology and political allegory in a unique way.
