Magical Idealism: A Novalis Collection: Friedrich von Hardenberg in Translation

Friedrich von Hardenberg, known by his pen-name 'Novalis' was a central figure within the birth of German Romanticism. Even though he passed away in 1801, at the young age of 28, he continues to inspire people around the world. It was the truly profound impact which this remarkable being has had on my own thought-life over the last 45 years that led me to publish this book as a humble offering that quite spontaneously sprouted out of my personal 'garden' of notes that I have cultivated over these many years. There are not many authors that make you feel as if you were a different person after reading them. Novalis is truly one of them . I trust you will thoroughly enjoy it, as have I.
