"Fantasies of Art" V.-G. Wackenroder, one of the founders of German romanticism, played a significant role in the development of literature not only in Germany, but also abroad. The book consists of two groups of stories and essays, plot unrelated, but united by common themes - painting and music. Wackenroder seeks to make the reader feel the indescribable charm of art creations, the power of aesthetic impression, to infect with his admiration for the greatness of art.
