A new translation of one of the most important and readable novels in the German language
The Von Trotta Family Series
This epic saga chronicles the fortunes of an aristocratic family in Central Europe through the tumultuous era spanning the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. The series masterfully depicts the gradual decline and transformation of one of the region's most prominent dynasties. Readers follow their loves, betrayals, political machinations, and struggles to maintain their status in a world torn apart by wars and revolutions. It is a poignant portrait of loss, memory, and the fragility of human lives against the backdrop of sweeping historical changes.
