内容简介 在线阅读本书

In 1919 Thomas Mann hailed Effi Briest (1895) as one of "the six most significant novels ever written." Set in Bismarck's Germany, Fontane's luminous tale of a socially suitable but emotionally disastrous match between the enchanting seventeen-year-old Effi and an austere, workaholic civil servant twice her age, is at once touching and unsettling. Fontane's taut, ironic narrative depicts a world where sexuality and the enjoyment of life are stifled by narrow-mindedness and circumstance. Considered by many to be the pinnacle of the nineteenth-century German novel, Effi Briest is a tale of adultery that ranks with Madame Bovary and Anna Karenina and brilliantly demonstrates the truth of the author's comment and "women's stories are generally far more interesting."
作者简介 Theodor Fontane (1819-1898) was born in Neuruppin, thirty miles northwest of Berlin. Although he received recognition relatively late in life, he is now thought of as the greatest German novelist between Goethe and Thomas Mann.

Hugh Rorrison has published extensively on modern German theater and teaches German film at the University of Leeds.

Helen Chambers organized the first conference on English translations of Fontane in 1992 and teaches German at the University of St. Andrews.
