I recommend Effi Briest...first class uplifting, shaming, beautiful to make you weep."" - Thomas Mann. Germany's best-loved classic novel, first published in 1895, is set in the heyday of Bismarck's Berlin and its effervescent heroine is one of the most unforgettable in literature. It is the story of an arranged marriage between the spirited seventeen-year-old daughter of a country gentleman and a high-flying civil servant and confidant of Bismarck, the considerably older Geert von Innstetten. In the remote Baltic town where the couple first live, Effi has an adulterous affair; when the Innstettens move to Berlin, the social code exacts its drastic price. ""Truly distinguished."" - Martin Seymour Smith, Scotland on Sunday. ""What a difference translation makes."" - Sunday Times.

About the Author:
Theodor Fontane (1819-98) was a German novelist and political reporter. Along with Effi Briest, Fontane is remembered for Frau Jenny Treibel, an ironic criticism of middle-class hypocrisy and small-mindedness.

Hugh Rorrison has published extensively on modern German theatre and teaches German film at the University of Leeds.

Helen Chambers organised the first conference on English translations of Fontane in 1992 and teaches German at the University of St Andrews.
