«Die Gesetze» is the philosophical novel by Connie Palmen, published by Diogenes Verlag in paperback (246 pages, in German).
The narrator, a young student, recounts over seven years her encounters with seven men: an astrologer, an epileptic, a philosopher, a priest, a physicist, an artist, and a psychiatrist. She is drawn to the knowledge that allows them to understand and judge the world, and tries to decipher the laws governing their lives in search of something to hold on to in an uncertain world.
The work was published in Dutch as De wetten (1991) and the German translation is by Barbara Heller. The novel won the Gouden Ezelsoor in 1992 and was shortlisted for the Dublin Literary Award in 1996.
For those who enjoy contemporary European fiction, coming-of-age stories, and novels about knowledge and human relationships.
Aldegonda Petronella Huberta Maria "Connie" Palmen is a Dutch author.
