Set against the aristocratic landscapes of Prussia and Denmark, the novel chronicles the disintegration of a marriage between Count Helmut Holk and his deeply principled wife Christine, as Holk's infatuation with a Danish countess drives their relationship to an irreversible breaking point. Fontane writes with a sharp, ironic wit balanced by profound compassion, dissecting the moral codes and social conventions of his era with surgical precision. Translated here with elegance by Douglas Parmée, this edition makes accessible a work that stands alongside Fontane's celebrated Effi Briest as a devastating portrait of marital failure, desire, and consequence. It remains essential reading for admirers of European literary realism and of novelists such as Tolstoy and Flaubert.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48893813817563,"sku":"2026200009119-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/734183bc-91bd-4d3a-9e23-b79e20b1382f.png?v=1782040717","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009119-secondhand-beyond-recall-unwiederbringlich","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
