Sandra Kegels, in " "Der verunsicherte Mann" describes his choice as "a convertible instead of a stroller." But in the end, he holds a "handsome boy" in his hands as a proud father. This turn towards the positive follows a change in his inner attitude and his standards of evaluation, with the help of the glass-imp, who had given him a deadline of eight days. Peter changes successfully in the emblematic seven days. In addition, Peter was also given "a heart of pure glass," which could symbolize the connection of human beings to the powers that guide and help them. According to Ottmar Hinz, this fairytale stands "on the threshold of literary realism" with a "subtle portayal of hurt, harried and healing manhood"; at the same time, it preserves "the desire of the Romantics for love and their belief in the goodness of man". In this it becomes clear that Lisbeth and Peter will find their way back to each other, and will have a child together, in addition to the return of his mother.[1]

This is near nonsense in English. It needs redoing.

Additionally translating book titles eg "Der verunsicherte Mann" to english, as was done in the translation is not how translation should be done.

Title: The Cold Heart?

Almost all translations I've come across so far use the title "The Cold Heart" (see the Wikisource translations page for this story). Are there any sources that show "Heart of Stone" as the current WP:COMMONNAME? --YodinT 13:06, 12 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Blamires (2009) also uses "The Cold Heart". --YodinT 13:13, 12 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
I've checked JSTOR, which returns 7 results for Hauff "Heart of Stone", compared to 28 results for Hauff "Cold Heart". As there haven't been any objections, I'll try to move the page now. --YodinT 10:31, 20 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
