Produktbeschreibung
Saint Michael: A romance begins with the quiet aftermath of a family death, casting a shadow over a household burdened by legacy and long-standing disgrace. The atmosphere is shaped by tension and remorse as Count Steinr ck grapples with the consequences of his daughter s defiance and the introduction of her illegitimate son, Michael, into his austere world. The story unfolds as Michael, shaped by mistreatment and isolation, returns to claim recognition and a place within a family that once rejected him. The solemn procession, cold family interactions, and the Count s internal conflict lay the foundation for a narrative about identity shaped by scandal and honor. The opening scenes provide a stark contrast between inherited power and personal suffering, as Michael, haunted by the truth of his parentage, seeks justice and acceptance. The early dialogue reveals a web of prejudice, religious tension, and emotional restraint that complicates Michael s quest. His growing presence threatens to disrupt not just the Count s pride but the fragile balance of tradition and forgiveness. The novel signals a deep personal reckoning rooted in familial wounds, setting the stage for a struggle over dignity, memory, and the right to belong.
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.
