Effi Briest by Theodor Fontane

Effi Briest by Theodor Fontane

Effi Briest, married young to an older, emotionally distant Prussian aristocrat, drifts into a brief affair born of loneliness rather than genuine passion, and the eventual discovery of this indiscretion years later triggers a devastating chain of social and personal consequences.

Fontane writes with restrained, precise realism about the rigid social codes of nineteenth-century Prussian society, and the disproportionate severity of Effi's punishment relative to her actual transgression gives the novel real critical force as social commentary.

A landmark of German realist literature, a devastating critique of rigid social convention.
