About this eBook

Author Sternheim, Carl, 1878-1942
Title Ulrike: Eine Erzählung
Credits Produced by Jens Sadowski
Summary "Ulrike: Eine Erzählung" by Carl Sternheim is a narrative novel written in the early 20th century, specifically around the time of World War I. The book explores themes of societal roles, gender expectations, and the dichotomy between provincial life and the bustling environment of urban centers, aimed at depicting the struggles of the protagonist, Ulrike, as she navigates these contrasting worlds. The story centers on Ulrike von Bolz, a young girl growing up in a conservative and patriarchal family in rural Uckermark, Germany. As she matures, Ulrike grapples with her father's oppressive authority, her emerging sexuality, and her own yearning for independence. Moving to Berlin introduces her to modernity, new experiences, and societal complexities, where she finds herself both attracted to and repulsed by urban life and its chaotic energy. Throughout her journey, Ulrike's character evolves as she becomes entangled with various men, particularly the soldier August Bäslack, and later, the artist Posinsky. The novel culminates in her transformation, which ultimately leads her to questionable choices and a tragic fate, reflecting the poignant struggles of women in a rapidly changing world.
