1,061 books78 followersHans Theodor Woldsen Storm (1817 – 1888) was a German poet and author.
He was born in Husum ("the grey town by the grey sea") on the west coast of Schleswig of well-to-do parents. While still a student of law, he published a first volume of verse together with the brothers Tycho and Theodor Mommsen.
He worked as a lawyer in Schleswig-Holstein, but emigrated to Thuringia in 1851, leaving his mother's household, and did not return until 1864 to become a writer leaving his homeland in Denmark.
He wrote a number of stories, poems and novellas. His two most well-known works are the novellas Immensee ("Bees' Lake", 1849) and Der Schimmelreiter ("The Rider on the White Horse"), first published in April 1888 in the Deutsche Rundschau. Other published works include a volume of his poems (1852), the novella Pole Poppenspäler (1874) and the novella Aquis submersus (1877).

Man kann jetzt nicht behaupten, dass Storms Novelle eine sehr schlechte Geschichte ist, aber dass sie extrem gut ist, kann man auch nicht sagen. Trotz, dass Storm eine sehr schöne, gepflegte Sprache anwendet und seine Erzählung mit literarischen Motiven illustriert, hat mich die Handlung der Geschichte jetzt nicht so überzeugt.
