"De Gouden Vaas" by E. T. A. Hoffmann is a novella first published in 1814. A clumsy student named Anselmus falls in love with a mysterious snake in an elderberry bush, only to discover she is the daughter of an eccentric archivist who is actually a banished salamander from Atlantis. Caught between the magical Serpentina and the earthly Veronika, Anselmus must choose between two worlds while copying ancient manuscripts and battling witches wielding enchanted mirrors.
