"Drawings; Betrothal" are two stories written by the German writer Ludwig Tick. In each of them, the author explores the theme of love, devotion and art. In "Paintings", the main character, an artist, meets a mysterious muse who forces him to reconsider his vision of the world. "Betrothal" tells the story of falling in love and the trials of lovers facing the complexities of their relationship. These lyrical works by Thicke are marked by subtle psychological tension and a poetic style that captivates the reader from the first lines.
