The Sorcerer's Apprentice
"The Sorcerer's Apprentice" () is a poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe written in 1797. The poem is a ballad in 14 stanzas. Story The poem begins as an old sorcerer departs his workshop, leaving his apprentice with chores to perform. Tired of fetching water by pail, the apprentice enchants a broom to do the work for him, using magic in which he is not fully trained. The floor is soon awash with water, and the apprentice realizes that he cannot stop the broom because he does not know the magic required to do so. The apprentice splits the broom in two with an axe, but each piece becomes a whole broom that takes up a pail and continues fetching water, now at twice the speed. At this increased pace, the entire room quickly begins to flood. When all seems lost, the old sorcerer returns and quickly breaks the spell. The poem concludes with the old sorcerer's statement that only a master should invoke powerful spirits. German culture Goethe's is well known in the German-speaking wo ...

The Sorcerer's Apprentice (Ewers Novel)
''Der Zauberlehrling'' (''The Sorcerer's Apprentice'') is a novel by Hanns Heinz Ewers, one of numerous works inspired in various ways by Goethe's The Sorcerer's Apprentice, poem of the same name. Ewers' first book, it was published in 1910. An English translation was published in America in 1927. It introduces the character of Frank Braun, who, like Ewers himself, is a writer, historian, philosopher, and world traveller with a decidedly Nietzschean morality. The story concerns Braun's attempts to manipulate a small cult of Evangelical Christians in a small Italian mountain village for his own financial gain, and the horrific results which ensue.E. F.

Sorcerer's Apprentice (Augiéras Novel)
''The Sorcerer's Apprentice'' is a novel by François Augiéras. First published in France in 1964 as ''L'apprenti sorcier'', it was translated into English by Sue Dyson in 2001 and published by Pushkin Press. Plot summary The novel is set in the Sarladais (the Dordogne region of France). An adolescent boy is sent to live with a 35-year-old priest, who becomes his teacher and spiritual mentor, and exerts a powerful control over the boy. He abuses him physically and sexually, but the boy willingly accepts his 'punishment.' The boy falls in love with a slightly younger, and very beautiful boy, meeting in secret and having sex. This disturbing story is much more than a tale of a sexually violent predator. The adolescent himself experiences sexual activity with the other boy, but this relationship is one of genuine love and affection, rather than the coercive, harmful abuse he is subjected to by the priest. 1964 French novels Novels set in Aquitaine Novels about gay topics ...
