Produktbeschreibung
Clear the track! A story of to-day captures a vibrant spring celebration in a lively town where festivity masks underlying tensions of love, rivalry, and social ambition. The story opens amid a colorful floral festival that draws diverse crowds, setting a cheerful yet charged atmosphere. Central figures emerge including a determined suitor and the object of his affection, whose relationships are complicated by family expectations and hidden histories. The male protagonist faces pressure not only from romantic competition but also from paternal demands tied to an industrial enterprise. Early interactions reveal subtle conflicts that hint at broader societal challenges involving class and personal desires. The festival s joyous facade contrasts with the simmering ambitions and secrets among the characters, laying the groundwork for drama that intertwines romance and social intrigue. Against the backdrop of blooming flowers and festive crowds, the narrative explores how public celebrations can veil private struggles and emerging rivalries.
Autorenporträt
Elisabeth B rstenbinder, born on November 25, 1838, in Berlin, Germany, was the daughter of a well-established family whose intellectual and cultural influences shaped her literary direction. Writing under the pseudonym Ernst Werner, she became a prominent figure in 19th-century German literature. Her career began to attract attention with the publication of Hermann in 1870, which marked the start of a long and productive writing life. She became known for works that combined emotional depth with moral dilemmas and examined the conflict between personal duty and individual desire. Several of her novels, including Sacred Vows, Fickle Fortune, and Riven Bonds, were translated into English, broadening her reach beyond German-speaking audiences. Her stories often portrayed layered emotional experiences and highlighted the tension between romantic ideals and societal roles. B rstenbinder's writing was appreciated for its narrative clarity and the ability to balance sentiment with structural discipline. She spent her later years in Merano, Italy, where she died on October 10, 1918, at the age of 79. Her literary contributions reflected a strong narrative voice that engaged with the cultural questions of her time while retaining emotional resonance for a broad readership.
