    About “Fräulein Else”

    Else, the nineteen-year-old daughter of a Viennese lawyer, spends a carefree holiday in an elegant hotel in the Alps. Men, music and society shape her daily life, and love seems to lie on the horizon.

    A telegram changes the situation instantly. Her father needs a large sum of money, or the whole family faces collapse, and the pressure grows with every hour.

    A wealthy guest at the hotel could help, but demands a return that shakes Else to her core. How far will she go to save her family, and what remains of her dignity?

    Who is “Fräulein Else” for?

    For readers who enjoy a short, dense narrative about inner thoughts, pangs of conscience and social constraints. If you love classic novellas from around 1900, you will find a psychologically precise protagonist whose thoughts draw the reader in directly. Readers of German who want a manageable story with a strong pull will also be glad to pick this one up.

    When is “Fräulein Else” the best read?

    The narrative is short enough to read in a single evening, for example on a summer night on the balcony or on a rainy afternoon. If you want to be transported from the hotel setting of the story into another era, you will find the right frame here. It also makes a good close to a holiday in the mountains.
