«Die schönsten Wanderungen durch die Mark Brandenburg» is Theodor Fontane's selection of travel writing in hardback, published by Nymphenburger.
Fontane travelled through Brandenburg and left in his chronicles the travel account, local history, and observation of landscapes and people. This selection brings together some of those texts: villages, rivers, forests, and places laden with memory, seen with a literary eye and modern sensibility.
The selection belongs to Fontane's larger cycle of chronicles on Brandenburg; the stories correspond to his travels through the region between 1862 and 1882. German edition, 304 pages.
The work is aimed at readers of classic German literature and travellers interested in discovering Brandenburg through Fontane's eyes.
Theodor Fontane was a German novelist and poet, regarded by many as the most important 19th-century German-language realist author. He published the first of his novels, for which he is best known today, only at age 58 after a career as a journalist. Many of his novels delve into topics that were more or less taboo for discussion in the polite society of Fontane's day, including marital infidelity, class differences, urban vs. rural differences, abandonment of children, and suicide. His novels sold well during his lifetime and several have been adapted for film or audio works.
