Book synopsis

Excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe One of the reasons for Hanns Heinz Ewers' influence upon German verse and prose is his wonderful sense of the value of words, of their colors and sounds, which he shares with the masters of all times. His instinct leads him toward the strange, the unexpected. The actions in his books take place in the human soul that land of dreams which unites our soul - to the world-soul. The conception of the "Alraune" or "Mandragora," his most famous book, antedates Pythagoras. It is a fable of the plant that shrieks when plucked. Ewers combines this story with the science of our times and creates a tale of a strange passion, with no intent to intoxicate but rather to explain. This book has affected not only the literature of Germany, but the literature of France, where Ewers lived for years and where he collaborated with Marc Henry, a French modernist, in bringing out some French fairy tales, "Le Joli Tambour" and the dramatic poem, "Les Yeux Morts," now set to music by d'Albert.
