About this book
A chance meeting on the promenade at Franzensbad gives two practiced gossips fresh material: Felix Lanzberg is going to marry. Baroness Klettenstein and a retired colonel trade malicious news while judging the wealthy Harfink family, whose daughter is to become his wife. Their conversation introduces an Austrian social world in which ancestry, money and reputation determine how people are received.
Ossip Schubin's novel follows these pressures into private rooms. Linda tells Erwin that Felix avoids company when she expects visitors, and she fears that he is ashamed of their unequal birth. Her appeal for sympathy makes an ordinary social call emotionally awkward. Sharp descriptions of clothes, interiors and manners give the story its particular texture.
