About this eBook

Author Sternheim, Carl, 1878-1942
Title Meta: Eine Erzählung
Credits Produced by Jens Sadowski
Summary "Meta: Eine Erzählung" by Carl Sternheim is a novel written during the early 20th century. The book explores the life of its titular character, Meta, as she transitions from a naïve servant girl to a woman grappling with her desires, societal expectations, and the impact of war. It reflects themes of femininity, love, and the complexities of human relationships against the backdrop of a changing society. In the narrative, Meta starts as a young maid who finds joy and purpose in her work, but her life experiences lead her to confront the harsh realities of love and ambition. As she becomes entangled with different men, including the idealized Fedor and the youthful Franz, her understanding of love evolves, revealing the struggles between virtue and desire. Ultimately, war disrupts her dreams, pushing her to navigate loss and redefining her identity in a patriarchal society. Sternheim's work delves into the intricate emotions and societal pressures faced by women, making it a poignant commentary on early 20th-century life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
