QR code
"Frau Jenny Treibel: Roman aus der Berliner Gesellschaft" by Theodor Fontane is a novel published in 1892. Set in Berlin, it centers on two families: the wealthy bourgeois Treibels and the educated but modest Schmidts. Jenny Treibel professes devotion to higher ideals while ruthlessly pursuing money and status. When Corinna Schmidt seeks to marry into wealth through Jenny's son Leopold, conflicting ambitions collide. The novel satirizes bourgeois hypocrisy and explores the tension
between genuine feeling and social calculation in a sharp yet affectionate comedy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
