Die beiden Freundinnen und ihr Giftmord by Alfred Döblin
"Die beiden Freundinnen und ihr Giftmord" by Alfred Döblin is a narrative published in 1924. Based on a sensational 1923 murder case, the work chronicles young Elli Link's transformation from a vivacious woman into a poisoner. Trapped in a violent marriage, she finds solace in her friendship with Margarete Bende—a bond that deepens into a lesbian relationship. Together, the two women make a chilling decision to eliminate their husbands with arsenic. Döblin
blends court documents, letters, and fictional scenes to explore the complex motivations behind their crime. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
