Her novel Anneliese's House, originally published in German in 1921, is considered a prescient portrayal of emerging feminist sensibilities within a nineteenth-century family. The novel revolves around Anneliese Branhardt, a pianist who sacrifices her career to raise a family with her physician husband, Frank. She is concerned about her son Balduin, who aspires to be a poet like Rilke, and her daughter Gitta, who is equally free-spirited. Anneliese is haunted by memories of a deceased daughter and faces the challenges of a risky late pregnancy. As her domestic harmony is threatened by her own desires for autonomy and her children's growing independence, Anneliese navigates a future that is both frightening and promising.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis English translation of Anneliese's House, published in 2012, is accompanied by a critical introduction and comprehensive bibliography. Lou Andreas-Salomé's novel remains a significant contribution to feminist literature, offering a nuanced exploration of women's roles and challenges in a patriarchal society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781640141599\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lou Andreas-Salome","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44520420770042,"sku":"9781640141599","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1692974344122_book.jpg?v=1693031494","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/annelieses-house-9781640141599","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
