Summary "Die Tänzerin Barberina: Roman aus der Zeit Friedrich des Grossen" by Adolf Paul is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the 18th century during the reign of Frederick the Great and follows the journey of a young dancer named Barberina. The narrative explores themes of ambition, artistic expression, and the tension between personal desire and social expectations. The opening of the novel introduces Rinaldo Fossano, a renowned dancer and choreographer grappling with dissatisfaction as he prepares for a performance in Venice. He yearns for a dancer who embodies the ethereal quality of "Psyche" but finds no one among his troupe who meets his ideal. His frustration leads him to a chance encounter with a girl, Barberina, who captivates him with her natural grace, suggesting a profound connection to the elusive quality he seeks. As the scene unfolds, Fossano becomes increasingly determined to help Barberina realize her potential, setting the stage for a complex relationship that intertwines their artistic fates. The opening sets a tone of artistic passion and the pursuit of beauty amid the struggles of life as a performer. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
