Dame Care

Rate this book
The psychological novel Frau Sorge was first published in German in 1887, and translated into English as Dame Care in 1891. It was Sudermann's first novel. Hermann Sudermann (1857 - 1928) dominated the German stage for nearly a quarter century, and was considered one of the greatest figures in contemporary German literature. He studied philosophy and history at Konigsberg University, and continued to write right up to his death, his last play appearing in 1925 and his last novel in 1928. Sudermann achieved surprising success in passing from novel-writing to dramatic authorship. He had a style of utmost distinction, and was well skilled in technique.

About the author

Hermann Sudermann

176 books13 followers
Educated at Koningsberg University and the University of Berlin, Sudermann had to give up his studies because of financial difficulties. He worked for a time as a tutor before becoming a journalist in Bern, Switzerland. He returned to Germany in 1881 and became the editor of the Deutsches Reichsblatt. Thereafter, he devoted himself to writing. In 1886, he published Zweilicht, his first novel, and followed in 1887 with Frau Sorge, which was critically acclaimed. His first drama, Die Ehre, or The Honour appeared in 1889 and was enormously successful. Sudermann also produced a number of short stories. His other works include Geschwister (1888), Der Katzensteg (1890), Sodoms Ende (1891), Die Heimat (1893), Morituri (1896), Es Lebe das Leben! (1902), Es War (1904) and Stein unter Steinen (1905).

հետաքրքիր սկսվեց, ձանձրալի զարգացավ, հետաքրքիր ավարտվեց

խառն էր մի խոսքով

բայց ամենաշատը վերնագիրը, գույնն ու կազմն եմ հավանել ու դրանք են եղել հիմնական պատճառները, որ կարդացել եմ

ընդհանուր հավես էր, սիրուն էր գրած, արժի կարդալ ։դ

Գիրքը սկսելուց հետաքրքրությունս բավականաին մեծ էր, ընթացքում սկսեցի ձանձրանալ... սովորական գիրք էր, ոչ մի արտասովոր բան։


Սրա վերջը մի տխուր բան կլինի, որովհետև աշխարհիս վրա մարդ  այսքան  ուրախ լինելու իրավունք չունի:

Շատ հակասական զգացողություններով գիրք ստացվեց։ Հետաքրքիր, ձանձրալի, կլանող, վանող։ Գլխավոր հերոսը՝ Պաուլը, նյարդայնացնում էր, բարկացնում ու միաժամանակ նաև կարեկցանք առաջացնում։
