Märchen
'Märchen' Summary
In one of Fischer's most famous tales, 'The Princess and the Pea,' a prince tests a princess's sensitivity by placing a pea under her mattress. The princess's discomfort reveals her true nature, as a genuine princess would be able to feel the pea through the layers of mattresses. Fischer uses this story to satirize the superficiality and artificiality of court life, where appearances are often more important than substance.Book Details
