“Mary Schweidler, the Amber Witch” is an 1838 novel by Wilhelm Meinhold, originally published in German and translated into English by Lady Duff-Gordon. Initially published as a hoax claiming to be a 17th-century account of witchcraft, Meinhold eventually confessed to the deceit but encountered significant trouble when trying to prove that he actually wrote the book. Set during the Thirty Years War, the plot revolves around the story of a pastor, whose only daughter, Maria, has been accused of practicing witchcraft by a rejected suitor. What follows is a tale of heart-break, jealousy and innocence. Read & Co. Classics is proudly republishing this vintage novel now in a brand new edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

Johannes Wilhelm Meinhold (27. Februar 1797 in Netzelkow auf Usedom - 30. November 1851 in Charlottenburg) war ein deutscher Schriftsteller, Doktor der Theologie und Pfarrer. Maria Schweidler, die Bernsteinhexe gilt als der wichtigste Roman von Wilhelm Meinhold. Die im Jahr 1843 erstmals veröffentlichte Erzählung ist eine Verarbeitung von Meinholds Pfarrerstochter zu Coserow (1826) und versteht sich als zeithistorisch getreue Widerspiegelung der Verhältnisse im Dreißigjährigen Krieg. Meinhold gab zunächst vor, dem Buch liege ein Manuskriptfund aus dem 17. Jahrhundert zugrunde. Erst später wurden seine Verfasserschaft und der rein fiktionale Charakter des Werkes offenbar.In den Jahren 1841 und 1842 veröffentlichte Meinhold Auszüge aus dem vorgeblichen Manuskriptfund in dem Periodikum Christoterpe. Preußenkönig Friedrich Wilhelm IV. wurde auf die angeblich 200 Jahre alte Quelle aufmerksam, und forderte am 16. April 1842 das gesamte Manuskript an. Meinhold musste seinem König die eigene Urheberschaft einräumen. Der König selbst, der den Pfarrer seit seiner Zeit als Kronprinz persönlich kannte, veranlasste 1843 den Druck nebst täuschendem Vorwort.Das Brandschatzen der kaiserlichen Truppen während des Dreißigjährigen Kriegs bringt Leid und Elend über die Menschen auf der Insel Usedom. Der Koserower Pfarrer Abraham Schweidler und seine Tochter Maria versuchen die Not zu lindern, indem sie den von Maria im Streckelsberg gefundenen Bernstein verkaufen, und von dem Geld Brot für die hungernden Koserower erwerben. Maria wird vom Amtshauptmann Appelmann begehrt und bedrängt, die 15-Jährige weist ihn jedoch ab. Appelmann benutzt - um sie sich doch noch gefügig zu machen - daraufhin den für die Dorfbewohner unerklärlichen Geldbesitz Marias als Grund, sie der Hexerei zu bezichtigen, und unter den Ritualen der Hexenverfolgung Folter und Qualen erleiden zu lassen. Am 30. August 1630 wird sie auf den Scheiterhaufen geführt, doch Graf Rüdiger von Nienkerken befreit sie aus ihrer Not und nimmt sie zur Frau. (aus Wikipedia) Die Bernsteinhexe Maria Schweidler. Roman. Erschienen im Verlag von Duncker und Humblot. Berlin. 1843.

Mary Schweidler, the amber witch: the most interesting trial for witchcraft ever known, printed from an imperfect manuscript by her father, Abraham Schweidler, the pastor of Coserow in the island of Usedom / edited by W. Meinhold; translated from the German by Lady Duff Gordon. Lucie Duff Gordon In laying before the public this deeply affecting and romantic trial, which I have not without reason called on the title-page the most interesting of all trials for witchcraft ever known, I will first give some account of the history of the manuscript. At Coserow, in the Island of Usedom, my former cure, the same which was held by our worthy author some two hundred years ago, there existed under a seat in the choir of the church a sort of niche, nearly on a level with the floor. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
