Produktbeschreibung
Vineta, The phantom city opens in a seaside villa where a widow resides with her younger son, awaiting the return of her estranged elder son. The story explores emotional distance, family discord, and the lingering effects of old choices. Tension quietly builds as the characters brace for a reunion long deferred, with the household dynamics shaped by authority, resentment, and the struggle for reconciliation. The elder son, shaped by a strict and isolating upbringing, brings with him a mix of defiance and unresolved pain that challenges the fragile calm of the villa. As the family prepares to return to their ancestral estate, the symbolic weight of home becomes a site of both confrontation and potential restoration. The early chapters are marked by inner unrest, unspoken grievances, and the weight of duty that overshadows individual longing. Subtle gestures and conversations hint at deeper divides, framing a story where memory, identity, and social expectation intersect. This beginning lays the groundwork for a narrative rich in emotional complexity, focusing on how the shadows of past choices shape the pursuit of renewal and belonging.
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.
