About the author
E. Marlitt
126 books6 followersE. Marlitt is the pseudonym of Friederieke Henriette Christiane Eugenie John (1825 – 1887), a popular German novelist of the 19th century.
She was born in Arnstadt. Her father was a portrait painter; her patroness was the Princess of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen, who adopted her in 1841 and sent her to Vienna to study music for three years on account of her fine voice.
She became deaf, and returned to Sondershausen, living at court as a companion to her patroness for eleven years. Her correspondents were struck with her attractive style, and encouraged her to write novels. For this purpose, she returned to Arnstadt in 1863, and there began her career as a novelist.

I think so far I like this novel of Eugenie Marlitt the best. This time she incorporated into her novel the Panic of 1873, the economic crash caused largely by overspeculation. ...Things never change... She also touches upon womens' intellectual independence and entrepreneurship that aren't necessarily looked upon as proper conduct for a woman. It is part of the reason her novels were so popular at the time. As always, Marlitt has some of the most beautiful German prose I've ever encountered. I challenge any contemporary author to match her linguistic nimbleness and range of vocabulary. Her atmospheric descriptions of landscapes and how she sets a scene are exquisite.

Klassischer Marlitt. Sie konnte einfach erzählen und sie konnte elegant mit der Sprache umgehen. Auch hier die klassischen Figuren, die bei ihr immer vorkommen, und die ich einfach liebe.
Diese Geschichte habe ich jetzt zum (mindestens) 5. Mal gelesen, sie hat mir diesmal lange Bahnfahrten verkürzt.
Kann Marlitt nur empfehlen.
