Goethes Märchen ist eines der am wenigsten bekannten Werke Goethes und doch eines seiner geheimnisvollsten und bezauberndsten. Es erschien erstmals 1795 in der von Schiller heraus­gegebenen Zeitschrift »Die Horen«. Historischer Hintergrund ist die Französische Revolution, deren Wirkung auf Deutschland Schiller in einem Brief an Goethe als den ¿Schatten des Riesen¿ bezeichnete. Als reales Vorbild für den Schauplatz dieser rätselhaften Dichtung sehen einige Interpreten das antike Rom mit Fähre und Pantheon. Die englische Übersetzung von Thomas Carlyle erschien 1832.Goethe¿s Fairy Tale is one of Goethe¿s least known works and yet one of his most mysterious and enchanting. It first appeared in 1795 in the journal ¿Die Horen¿, edited by Schiller. The historical background is the French Revolution, whose effect on Germany Schiller described in a letter to Goethe as the ¿shadow of the giant¿. Some interpreters see ancient Rome with its ferry and Pantheon as the real-life model for the setting of this enigmatic poetry. The translation by Thomas Carlyle was first published in 1832.
