Story
He would espy some shadow moving behind the veil. A tinkling sound would come to his car from afar, and would set him dreaming of the ankles whose tiny golden bells sang at each step. Ah, the rosy red tender feet that walked the dust of the earth like God's mercy on the fallen! The poet had placed them on the altar of his heart, where he wove his songs to the tune of those golden bells. Doubt never arose in his mind as to whose shadow it was that moved behind the screen, and whose anklets they were that sang to the time of his beating heart.

Zwischen den Zeiten und ihren Moralbegriffen, zwischen Bewusstem und Unbewusstem, zwischen Wirklichkeit und Phantasie - schwebt dieses unvergleichliche erzählerische Kunstwerk. Es lädt, reich an faszinierenden und beklemmenden Bildern, zu vielfältiger Analyse ein und entzieht sich doch der Analyse; es ist unausdeutbar, unerschöpflich: eine Ehegeschichte dem Hauptthema nach, also die Geschichte einer Ehekrise. Nur führt Brüchigkeit hier nicht zum Bruch, sondern beinahe überraschend zu Selbstreinigung, Heimkehr und Morgenhelle.

Die Begegnung mit einem Unbekannten, der ihm zweihundert Francs leiht, setzt eine Kette von kleinen Wundern in Gang: Ein warmes Essen, eine gründliche Rasur, eine Begegnung mit einer verflossenen Liebe und mit einem alten Freund - und immer wieder der Alkohol. Ein unorthodoxer Heiliger, eine melancholische und versöhnliche Legende, die Joseph Roth als sein Testament bezeichnete.

Mit seinen Zauberpantoffeln kann der kleine Muck blitzschnell laufen und ein verzaubertes Stöckchen lässt ihn Gold und Silber finden. So gelangt er zwar zu Reichtum, erfährt aber hauptsächlich Neid, Hass und Spott. Die negativen Reaktionen der Menschen lassen den Sonderling zum Einsiedler werden. Wie bei den Märchen der Brüder Grimm geht es auch bei Wilhelm Hauff immer wieder um die "Einmischung eines fabelhaften Zaubers in das gewöhnliche Menschenleben".
