Effi Briest (1895) by Theodor Fontane looks at adultery and "fallen" women in mid-19th-century Germany. The story was influenced by Fontane's own family history. It was not translated into English until 1915. Its themes include the tragic strictures of social dictates, the class between passion and obligation, the loss of childhood, and diminished joy brought on by social conventions. Fontane erzählt die Geschichte Effi Briests unaufgeregt, ohne Pathos und mit distanzierter Ironie; eine direkte Anklage erhebt er so wenig, wie er eine Schuldfrage aufwirft, obgleich am Anachronismus des preußischen Offiziers- und Ehrenkodexes kein Zweifel bleibt. So wenig sich Effi in ihrer seelischen Isolierung dem Verhängnis entziehen Effi Briest is a subtly-written examination of the rigidity and hypocrisy of the value system among the Prussian nobility. It was written by Theodor Fontane, published in 1896. It's one of the great classic novels of German literature, and standard reading in schools. It has been filmed at least six times, most famously by Rainer Werner Gesellschaftskritik - Effi Briest Interpretation. zur Stelle im Video springen.
