But Fitzgerald sketches her hero’s philosophical obsessions deftly, almost teasingly, yet without condescension. The German Romantic philosophers and poets can be very heavy going. I nearly didn’t read this, highly praised and prized though it is. ![]() Some of the dialogues (and especially some of the unspoken asides) are laugh-out-loud. Fitzgerald’s writing is precise and light and tight. Gradually, Friedrich wins her affection, her parents’ assent (not too difficult, if their daughter be allowed to grow just a little older), and finally his father’s blessing (very difficult). In his courtship he is aided, impeded, and exasperated by a superbly rich and varied cast of family members and friends. He falls in love with the young (very young!) daughter of an unacceptably bourgeois family. Friedrich von Hardenberg (1772-1801), aka ‘ Novalis’, is a struggling young poet, philosopher and novelist (& impoverished minor aristocrat).

European nations have successfully evacuated their citizens by air, while the United States has essentially said to its citizens that they should make their own plans and should not expect the help of the American government. are attempting to flee the chaos their nationality seems to be playing a role in their success in that endeavor. Tragic stories of woe from Khartoum and its environs have been filtering out. Since the crisis exploded, this threat has been ramping up. Also entangled in that fracas are Western civilians and the disparate handling of their plights is telling. Now these groups are fighting for supremacy, catching the country in the crossfire. The clash between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has its roots in the downfall of the Sudanese dictator Omar al-Bashir in 2019, when the two forces colluded to support a popular uprising. A brutal civil war is unfolding in Sudan, with opposing military factions engaging in all-out warfare across the nation. ![]() ![]() ![]() The orphan Hans is desperate to escape his master, the grave robber Knobbe.
