Autorenporträt
Friedrich Heinrich Karl de la Motte, Baron Fouqué (12 February 1777 - 23 January 1843) was a German writer and novelist, known for his contributions to the Romantic literary movement. Born in Brandenburg an der Havel, he came from a family of French Huguenot descent, as indicated by his surname. His grandfather, Heinrich August de la Motte Fouqué, had served as a general under Frederick the Great, while his father was a Prussian army officer, a background that would influence his later works. Fouqué is best remembered for his fantasy and romantic works, which are imbued with the ideals of heroism, honor, and the supernatural. His most famous work, Undine is a novella that blends folklore, fantasy, and the themes of love and betrayal, and is regarded as a classic of German Romantic literature. His writing often reflected the German Romantic emphasis on nature, individualism, and the mystical, positioning him as a key figure alongside other Romantic writers. Fouqué died on 23 January 1843, but his legacy as a key figure in German Romanticism endures, especially through his contributions to fantasy literature.
