Produktbeschreibung
Hermann: A novel presents a study in how individual action reverberates through social order, exposing fragile loyalties and unspoken tensions beneath polished surfaces. The novel opens with a disruption a death and an accusation that sends ripples through a structured household and a tightly governed community. At the center lies a conflict between duty and desire, between the roles imposed by birth and the emotional truths that resist containment. The portrayal of contrasting figures those who command and those who bend creates a layered inquiry into power, guilt, and reputation. Emotional restraint is set against private sorrow, as seen in the juxtaposition of public decorum and private grief. The presence of a child, positioned as an observer, underscores the way innocence confronts adult compromise, and how perception is shaped in formative moments. The family, both biological and extended, becomes the stage for ethical dilemmas played out under the gaze of a judging society. Through its early scenes of fallout and fallout management, the story signals a larger exploration of legacy, justice, and the costs of silence in environments governed by pride and hierarchy.
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.
