About this eBook

Author Heiberg, Hermann, 1840-1910
Title Todsünden
Credits Produced by PG Distributed Proofreaders
Summary "Todsünden" by Hermann Heiberg is a novel written during the late 19th century. The book likely explores themes of morality and societal expectations, featuring complex characters navigating personal conflicts and familial duties. Central to the narrative is Theonie Cromwell, who faces emotional turmoil following her mother's death, and Tankred von Brecken, whose intentions and character raise suspicions. The opening of "Todsünden" introduces a somber autumn setting as Theonie deals with the impending death of her mother, Marianne, at their estate, Falsterhof. The narrative shifts to focus on Tankred, Marianne's nephew, who clandestinely observes Theonie's family from the shadows. Theonie's apprehension towards Tankred grows, fueled by her mother's fondness for him despite his questionable past. As Tankred ingratiates himself with the family, Theonie grapples with her unease and distrust, foreshadowing the conflict between them. The beautifully detailed descriptions of the estate and the tension between characters create an atmosphere ripe for exploration of love, betrayal, and the quest for agency in a restrictive environment.
