Produktbeschreibung
Rue and roses explores the interior life of a young woman shaped by hardship, cultural restraint, and emotional solitude. Raised in a modest German household, she reflects on a childhood shadowed by her father s financial failure, her family s frequent moves, and the constraints placed on women. Now a governess, she shoulders responsibility while longing for a life of love, creativity, and greater personal freedom. Poetry becomes her private form of expression, offering a contrast to the emotional silence of her surroundings. Vivid recollections of holidays and domestic tension deepen the sense of longing that permeates her days. As she navigates the expectations of her social role and her internal desire for something more, she begins to understand the weight of her dreams and the emotional costs of her reality. The novel traces her quiet resistance against a life of limited opportunity, revealing how memory, art, and introspection become acts of survival. Her story becomes a meditation on class, gender, and the longing for a richer emotional and creative life.
Autorenporträt
Angela Langer was born on 21 December 1886 in Vienna, Austria, to a family immersed in the cultural richness of the region. Though little is widely recorded about her private life, her work suggests an acute sensitivity to the societal and emotional constraints experienced by women in early 20th-century Europe. She authored the novel Rue and Roses, which reflects a deeply introspective voice and explores issues of family hardship, emotional isolation, and creative longing. The influence of her upbringing in Vienna, a city then steeped in intellectual and artistic movements, is evident in her portrayal of inner life and nuanced class structures. Langer died at the young age of 29 on 25 June 1916 in Kirchberg am Wagram, Austria. Her parents' identities are not widely documented, and her early death likely contributed to the limited recognition her work received during her lifetime. Nevertheless, Rue and Roses remains a poignant record of a young woman's inner world, highlighting Angela Langer's brief yet thoughtful contribution to early 20th-century literature.
