About this audiobook
The Scholar tells the tale of a reclusive old academic with an obsession for orderliness and absolute quiet, who also suffers from acute hypochondria. His doctor suggests that a cure might be to marry...preferably a woman who is the complete opposite of himself. He suggests Antoinette, the vivacious, party-loving daughter of the landlord downstairs. But it is Antoinette's quiet, studious sister who is secretly in love with the old scholar, and who is of course, more suited to making him happy. The question is, how destiny can conspire to effect the right match.
Ludwig Tieck
Ludwig Tieck (Berlín, 1773-1853). Formó parte del grupo romántico de Jena junto con Schlegel, Novalis y Schelling. En su comedia El mundo al revés (1798) renovó las estructuras dramáticas tradicionales, orientando su romanticismo hacia lo fantástico y hacia la recreación de las antiguas leyendas de la Alemania medieval. Lo más destacable de su obra lo constituyen sus cuentos satíricos y sus fábulas, como El caballero Barba Azul y El gato con botas, que se publicaron reunidos en Phantasus (1812-1816). En Nórdica ya publicamos sus Cuentos fantásticos.
