This time I'm not sure I would have rated it better if it hadn't been an obligatory read. Gottfried Keller just isn't my sort of author. ( ) Unless I very much miss my guess, the only non-German-readers of this little volume have been motivated by curiosity about one of two musical connections to it. First, Keller was a great favorite of Richard Wagner, and we have accounts of his reading Keller's DER GRUENE HEINRICH to members of his later-life entourage. I myself couldn't whack-up anywhere near that kind of enthusiam, no matter how many others I share witth old RW. Second, this portion of Keller's DIE LEUTE VON SELDWYLA is the basis for Frederick Delius incomparable opera A VILLAGE ROMEO AND JULIET, which I have reviewed elsewhere on LT. A reading of this text is instructive. The jist of Keller's story remains in Delius' libretto, but the emotional tone is very different. Whereas the opera is delirious heart-on-sleeve romanticism -- decades after the high-water mark of capital-R Romanticism -- Keller's original has a curiously reserved tone, even though he himself lived and worked in that earlier passionate age. The combination of gentle sympathy and yet something approaching cynicism recall Stendhal, believe it or not. Read the story, and think good thoughts about Vreli and Sali. Sad and romantic story, as the title itself could make clear. Beautiful description, mature style, classic story of two houses - or better families in this context - and a pair of star-cross'd lovers. Definitely amusing story, but I do not feel the tragedy (which is inherent in Shakespeare’s drama). Good as a fairy tale, although with no happy-end, but nothing I would long to read for a second time. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

A Village Romeo and Juliet is a bitter-sweet tragedy telling the tale of two young lovers kept apart by a family feud. Inspired by the story of two real-life sweethearts and set in rural Switzerland, it evokes the overwhelming beauty of young love and nature, but is ultimately pessimistic about the possibility of such beauty surviving in the real world.Although it attracted controversy when it was first published in 1856, Keller's timeless novella has now rightfully entered the canon of world literature and is widely considered as one of the finest examples of nineteenth-century poetic realism.
