Jean-François Fouque is a lawyer for one of them, a troubled youth who went to Syria as part of a group of friends in 2014.

He managed to slip out but what he went through will stick with him forever, Mr Fouque says.

Byatt dazzlingly folds many stories of enchantments, one inside the other, and embroiders on the medieval figure of Melusine, the precursor of several other watery fairies, such as Andersen’s The Little Mermaid and Undine by La Motte ��dzܱ��é.

The last work, containing as it does La Motte Fouque's beautiful tale of Undine, with explanatory notes on all the difficult words and phrases, and its vocabulary of 4500 words synonymous in German and English, cannot be found otherwise than most useful.

He is concerned wholly with the nature of man as he finds him, and with the working of the moral laws, the natural tendencies of virtue and vice in the system of the universe; and in this way he contrasts strikingly with writers like ��dzܱ��é, whose works have so much of a distinct religious character.
