Selbstmordverein
by Franziska Gräfin zu Reventlow
'Selbstmordverein' Summary
Franziska Gräfin zu Reventlows 'Selbstmordverein' ist ein satirisches Romanfragment, das die grotesken und tragikomischen Seiten des menschlichen Lebens beleuchtet. In der Geschichte begegnen wir einem verkrachten Baron, einer schönen Witwe, einem jungen Gymnasiasten und seiner Freundin, die partout nicht mehr als Mädchen gesehen werden will, sowie einer Vielzahl weiterer Figuren aus der deutschen Gesellschaft des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts. Die Handlung wird durch das Auftauchen eines Phantoms noch bizarrer und lässt den Leser zwischen Lachen und Weinen hin- und hergerissen sein. Reventlows Romanfragment ist eine scharfsinnige und humorvolle Kritik an den Konventionen und Widersprüchen der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft und hinterfragt gleichzeitig die Natur von Liebe, Tod und Identität.Book Details
