Descripción
This bilingual edition presents Jaroslav Kvapil’s poem, which became famous as the libretto for Antonín Dvořák’s opera of the same name. Kvapil drew inspiration from Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale The Little Mermaid, but developed the characters’ psychology in greater depth. Through subtle poetic techniques and dramatic pacing, he evokes mysterious echoes of the work of Karel Jaromír Erben. These influences are reflected in a text that feels nostalgically familiar yet innovative. The edition includes illustrations by Jiří Grus and an afterword by Geoffrey Chew. The text is presented in Czech and English.
