Effi Briest by Theodor Fontane
"Effi Briest" by Theodor Fontane is a realist novel published in 1895. Seventeen-year-old Effi is married off to Baron von Innstetten, a man twenty years her senior who once courted her mother. Isolated in a remote Pomeranian town while her husband travels frequently, the lonely young woman finds solace in the attentions of Major Crampas. This tale of marriage, adultery, and social judgment explores the tragic consequences when personal desire collides with
rigid societal expectations in nineteenth-century Germany. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
