About the author

Educated at Koningsberg University and the University of Berlin, Sudermann had to give up his studies because of financial difficulties. He worked for a time as a tutor before becoming a journalist in Bern, Switzerland. He returned to Germany in 1881 and became the editor of the Deutsches Reichsblatt. Thereafter, he devoted himself to writing. In 1886, he published Zweilicht, his first novel, and followed in 1887 with Frau Sorge, which was critically acclaimed. His first drama, Die Ehre, or The Honour appeared in 1889 and was enormously successful. Sudermann also produced a number of short stories. His other works include Geschwister (1888), Der Katzensteg (1890), Sodoms Ende (1891), Die Heimat (1893), Morituri (1896), Es Lebe das Leben! (1902), Es War (1904) and Stein unter Steinen (1905).

Reviews

[Johanna FRamírez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Maravillosa historia! Siendo un autor desconocido para mi, el título del libro, aparentemente simple, logró llenarme de curiosidad. No esperaba encontrarme con una historia tan encantadora, con personajes tan intensos y enigmáticos. Para ser una novela corta, desarrolla con maestría y solidez una interesante exploración psicológica sobre los pecados y deseos oscuros que van creciendo en el alma de una inocente y tierna muchacha. Lo más interesante y acaso sublime de la novela es que, no son otros sino ella misma, quién se va descubriendo a si misma en su faceta más sombría. Es su propia e implacable mirada la que nos enseña, tanto su espíritu apasionado como su más terrible deseo. Recomendada mil veces.

Buena prosa, hermosa la descripción del sentimiento de la protagonista y de su percepción de los espacios. Gran reflexión de la moral humana ante grandes emociones y deseos que pueden ir más allá de la misma cordura.
