"An astonishing book . . . Fitzgerald's greatest triumph." --New York Times Book Review The Blue Flower is set in the age of Goethe, in the small towns and great universities of late eighteenth-century Germany. It tells the true story of Friedrich von Hardenberg, a passionate, impetuous student of philosophy who will later gain fame as the Romantic poet Novalis. Fritz seeks his father's permission to wed his "heart's heart," his "spirit's guide"--a plain, simple child named Sophie von K hn. It is an attachment that shocks his family and friends. Their brilliant young Fritz, betrothed to a twelve-year-old dullard? How can this be? The irrationality of love, the transfiguration of the commonplace, the clarity of purpose that comes with knowing one's own fate--these are the themes of this beguiling novel, themes treated with a mix of wit, grace, and mischievous humor unique to the art of Penelope Fitzgerald. "An extraordinary imagining . . . an original masterpiece." --Hermione Lee, Financial TimesBinding Type: Paperback

Best gift I gave my wife in a long time!
Size: One Size, Color: Parchment Multi, Size: One Size, Color: Parchment Multi
As someone who has never purchased a purse before, I wanted to get my wife something special for her birthday. I know she loves Kate Spade products for their excellent quality, so I decided to go with one of their purses. I’ll admit, I was a bit shocked at the price initially, but given its designer status and popularity, I should have expected it.
When the purse arrived, I immediately understood why it’s priced the way it is. The craftsmanship, from the stitching to the overall quality, truly stands out. The difference between this and a purse from a big-box store is remarkable. Needless to say, my wife absolutely loved it. For a purse to impress both her and me, it’s an easy five-star rating!
