What would you surrender for a love that asks for everything?

When a young fisherman draws a beautiful mermaid from the sea, he becomes captivated by her songs and the mysterious world beneath the waves. She loves him in return—but no human may join her underwater while burdened with a soul.

Determined to remain with her, the fisherman seeks a forbidden way to separate his soul from his body. With the help of a witch and a dark ritual, he casts the soul away and descends beneath the sea to live beside the one he loves.

But the abandoned Soul does not disappear. Year after year, it returns with extraordinary tales and tempting gifts, offering wisdom, wealth, and earthly pleasure in exchange for reunion. The fisherman refuses each temptation until one moment of curiosity draws him back onto the land—and allows his heartless Soul to reclaim him.

Lyrical, haunting, and deeply symbolic, The Fisherman and His Soul is Oscar Wilde’s unforgettable meditation on love, conscience, desire, temptation, and the terrible price of sacrificing part of oneself.

Beautifully narrated by Myriam Berger, this literary fairy tale carries listeners into a dreamlike world of mermaids, magic, longing, and tragedy.
