Bertha Garlan is a novel written by Austrian author Arthur Schnitzler. The story revolves around Bertha Garlan, a young woman who is torn between her desire for independence and her duty to conform to the expectations of society. Bertha is engaged to a wealthy man, but she is not content with her life and yearns for something more. As she struggles to find her place in the world, Bertha is forced to confront the limitations placed on women in her time. The novel explores themes of gender roles, societal expectations, and the struggle for personal freedom. Schnitzler's writing style is characterized by his use of stream-of-consciousness narration and his exploration of the inner lives of his characters. Bertha Garlan is a powerful and thought-provoking novel 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.
