Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Therese" is a profound and sweeping psychological novel by the renowned Austrian author Arthur Schnitzler. Set against the backdrop of late nineteenth-century Europe, the narrative follows the life of Therese Fabiani, a young woman of noble descent who falls into financial hardship following her father's mental illness and death. To support herself, she takes up the life of a governess, drifting between various households and social strata.The work serves as a meticulous chronicle of a woman's life, detailing her struggles with societal expectations, her search for emotional fulfillment, and her complex, often tragic relationship with her illegitimate son. Schnitzler employs his characteristic psychological depth to explore themes of social isolation, the constraints placed upon women, and the inescapable weight of one's past. Through the lens of Therese's experiences, the novel offers a vivid and often somber portrait of a society in transition, marked by rigid class distinctions and the cold realities of survival. This masterpiece of modern literature remains a compelling examination of human resilience and the search for identity in an indifferent world.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
