Summary "Vögelchen" by Friderike Maria Winternitz Zweig is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the character Arabella, affectionately known as Vögelchen, who grows up in a complex environment shaped by her wealthy, eccentric stepfather, Adalbert Mannsthal. Themes of innocence, longing, and the conflict between childhood and adult responsibility are likely explored throughout the narrative. The opening of the book introduces readers to the backdrop of Vienna around the year 1860, where an exhibition of miniatures serves as the initial setting. It reveals the intricate dynamics between Arabella and her stepfather, who becomes enamored with her delicate beauty as he seemingly prioritizes his passion for collecting over genuine parental affection. The text foreshadows a life filled with tension as Vögelchen navigates relationships with her stepfather and the accompanying adults in her life, particularly the sympathetic doctor, Urbacher, who becomes a key figure in Arabella’s upbringing. This portion of the story raises questions about identity, love, and the potentially haunting past that shapes Arabella's future as her upbringing stands in stark contrast to her whimsical nature.
