Publisher's Summary: Die wunderschön melancholische Geschichte der zu jung verheirateten Effi, stellt Gesellschafts- und Beziehungsmodelle in Frage, die auch heute unverändert aktuell erscheinen, wenn auch im Äußeren und in der Sprache das eine oder andere sich verändert haben mag. Die schöne Lesung stammt von Verena Wolfien, einer Hamburger Fernseh- und Theaterschauspielerin, die für den HörGut! Verlag bereits die Fontane-Romane "Mathilde Möhring" und "Stine" eingelesen hat. Zu diesem Titel erhalten Sie eine PDF-Datei, die nach dem Kauf automatisch Ihrer Bibliothek hinzugefügt wird. Mitglieder Bewertungen: A great novelist. Theodor Fontane was a wonderful writer. In a subtle & disarming way, he addresses social, political, geographical, & personal issues. He wrote in a way that illuminated the cultural influences in the Brandenburger March & the rapid changes that were underway at his time. He did this through what seems to be a simple story-telling style, but his use of language was highly crafted, and he never told his readers what to think. The individuals essentially led their lives as they had to, because of who they were. Violence (in the form of a duel) & sexual content (an affair) are dealt with as expressions of the characters' emotions, but there are no graphic descriptions of the actual events. Those events occur fleetingly, becoming part of the causality of later events. Much has been said in comparing Effie Briest to Flaubert's Madame Bovary; but Effie is a far more innocent person whose life is ruined by her own behavior, for which she accepts responsibility, while Emma Bovary is so narcissistic that one cannot empathize with her. Even the characters who might have been treated like villains by other writers are presented without florid descriptions; rather, they, too, are just who they are.Until I bought this volume, I'd read Fontanne only in wonderful translations from the German, which left me wondering whether I'd gotten the full sense of his writing. I am delighted that I now have further insight into the craft of this fine writer. Excellent Novel It's a German classic. The film is on YouTube, by the way. If you read German, it's quite worth buying. A classic Fontane was a wonderful writer. Of course he reflects his period, which was more rigid and disciplined. Along with Thomas Mann, he was one of my favorite German writers. Effi Briest is a novel that provides non-Germans with a glimpse into the ordered life in Germany. A window in time How does one rate a classic that has already stood the test of time? It sheds an interesting light into the time in Germany before the World War I. I read the German edition because German is my first language. To somebody who speaks German not very competently, this will be difficult to read. Yet, at the same time, I cannot imagine how it could be translated and give justice to the brilliance of the language. Don't waste your time Fontane's examination of upper class Germany in the nineteenth century ultimately proves to be a scathing indictment of the "me first" mentality, but, and this is important: NOTHING HAPPENS. For about 200 pages Fontane wastes the readers' time by doing what could be done in about 30 pages: He shows how messed up the whole aristocratic scene was.
