Bertha Garlan is a novel written by the Austrian author Arthur Schnitzler. It was first published in 1900 and is set in Vienna during the late 19th century. The story revolves around Bertha Garlan, a young woman from a wealthy family who lives a sheltered life. She is engaged to a man named Richard, but she begins to question her feelings for him when she meets a charming young artist named Ruprecht. As Bertha becomes more involved with Ruprecht, she begins to explore her own desires and ambitions, and she starts to question the traditional gender roles and societal expectations that have been imposed upon her. The novel is a poignant exploration of love, desire, and self-discovery, and it offers a compelling critique of the rigid social norms of the era. Schnitzler's writing is characterized by its psychological depth and its nuanced portrayal of complex characters, and Bertha Garlan is no exception. It is a timeless work of literature that continues to resonate with readers today.In the centre of the little room stood a small table laid for three; by the wall was a blue velvet sofa, and opposite that hung a gilt framed oval mirror, before which Bertha took her hat off and, as she did so, she noticed that the names Irma and Rudi had been scratched on the glass. At the same time, she saw in the mirror Emil coming up behind her. He placed his hands on her cheeks, bent her head back towards himself, and kissed her on the lips. Then he turned away without speaking, and rang the bell.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
