About this eBook

Author Kolb, Annette, 1870-1967
Title Briefe einer Deutsch-Französin
Credits Produced by Jens Sadowski
Summary "Briefe einer Deutsch-Französin" by Annette Kolb is a collection of letters written during the early 20th century, specifically around the time of World War I. The work offers a poignant exploration of the experiences and emotions of a woman caught between her German and French identities amidst the turbulence of war. The letters reflect on themes of loss, patriotism, and the deep-seated connections between nations that find themselves at odds. The opening of the book presents a reflective and deeply emotional voice, recalling the idyllic days of summer in 1914 before the onset of war disrupted life as it was known. The narrator contrasts the serenity of these moments with the foreboding sense that the conflict is about to swallow their world. As the correspondence unfolds, it sets a tone of nostalgia and grief, revealing the author's inner turmoil as she addresses a deceased friend, grappling with feelings of isolation and the chaos that war brings. These initial letters evoke a powerful sense of longing and unease, hinting at the struggles ahead for the narrator and people caught in the web of war. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
