Summary : Effi Briest, daughter of Berlin aristocrats, is married at the age of seventeen to Baron Geert von Innstetten, a forty-year-old politician. Two different worlds then meet, an enthusiastic and carefree young woman facing a cold and distant baron. Imprisoned in an unhappy marriage, isolated from the world, repressed by a conservative society, Effi begins a relationship as passionate as it is secret with a military officer.

Like Anna Karenina or Emma Bovary, the heroine rushes towards her tragic destiny, refusing to submit and abandon her emotional, sexual, and even political freedom. The last novel by German writer Theodor Fontane, Effi Briest is one of the masterpieces of the German realist school.
