"Der Spiegel des Cyprianus" by Theodor Storm is a fairy tale completed in 1864. A young count lies ill, tended by his stepmother and old nurse. The nurse tells of an enchanted mirror given by the wizard Cyprianus—a gift meant to bring hope but carrying a deadly curse if it witnesses bloodshed. Through generations, two half-brothers bound by love face the schemes of a wicked stepmother and her accomplice. When murder stains the mirror, its dark prophecy awakens, threatening to claim innocent lives across time.
