Fantasy is a Genre that uses magic and other Supernatural forms as a primary element of plot, theme, and/or setting Central Europe is the Region lying between the variously and vaguely defined areas of Eastern and Orsinian Tales is a collection of short stories by American writer Ursula K
The story takes place from 1825 to 1830, when Orsinia is ruled by the Austrian Empire. For the history of these states before 1804 see Holy Roman Empire, Habsburg Monarchy, and articles on each of the component countries. The hero is Itale Sorde, the son of the owner of an estate on a lake called Malafrena in a valley of the same name. Itale leaves the estate, against his father's will, to engage in nationalistic and revolutionary politics in the capital.
In many ways, Malafrena reads like a nineteenth-century novel, with its many detailed characters, its political-movement and love-story subplots, its lack of the supernatural, and its settings that range from the mansions of the aristocracy to slums and a prison.
