Novelle by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"Novelle" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a prose narrative published in 1828. When a prince departs for a hunt, his young wife embarks on a ride to the ancestral castle with her escort. Their peaceful excursion takes an alarming turn when fire breaks out in the town and an escaped tiger threatens the princess. As danger escalates with a lion on the loose, the tale builds toward an unexpected resolution that transforms violence into harmony through music and compassion.
