Immerse yourself in 19th-century Germany with 'Effi Briest,' a classic novel by Theodor Fontane. This edition from DEBOLSILLO, translated by F. de Ocampo with an introduction by Thomas Mann, tells the story of Effi, a young woman trapped in the rigid social conventions of the Prussian aristocracy. Her quest for vitality and happiness leads her to defy the norms, with devastating consequences. A masterpiece of German realism that explores themes of adultery, morality, and the oppression of society.
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.
