Project Gutenberg 2006-02-01 Public domain in the USA. 138 Schnitzler, Arthur 1862 1931 Frau Bertha Garlan. English Bertha Garlan Produced by Charles Aldarondo, Mary Meehan, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Bertha Garlan" by Arthur Schnitzler is a novel written during the late 19th century. The book explores the life of Bertha, a widow navigating her existence in a small town after the death of her husband, Victor Mathias Garlan. As she reflects on her past, her marriage, and her relationship dynamics, she faces the complexities of loneliness, societal expectations, and the haunting memories of her youthful aspirations and lost love. At the start of the story, Bertha is depicted walking with her young son down a hill towards their town, feeling a sense of solitude as she reflects on her life three years after her husband's death. The opening scene establishes her routine, revealing her emotional state as she grapples with the memory of her husband and the unfulfilled dreams of her artistic ambitions. As she interacts with a few townsfolk and recalls her marriage—which was more a practical arrangement than a love match—Bertha's internal struggle is evident. The narrative delves into her relationships, including a budding friendship with a charming but disreputable man, Herr Klingemann, and the rekindling of memories tied to her first love, the celebrated violinist Emil Lindbach, raising questions about the nature of love, longing, and the choices that define our lives.
