«Die Tanzenden» is the historical novel by Victoria Mas, published by Piper Verlag GmbH in paperback (240 pages, in German).
In late 19th-century Paris, Louise and Eugénie are confined at the Salpêtrière with other women diagnosed with hysteria. The novel follows them at the annual ball where high society observes the patients, a night on which both risk their freedom. A story about oppression, emancipation, and the right to live autonomously.
The original work, «Le Bal des folles», was published in 2019 and won the Prix Renaudot des lycéens. This German edition features a translation by Julia Schoch.
Appeals to those seeking historical fiction with a feminist perspective, portraits of 19th-century Paris, and a backdrop of oppression and mental health.
