About this listen

Die siebzehnjährige Effi wird mit dem mehr als doppelt so alten Baron von Innstetten, einem früheren Verehrer ihrer Mutter, verheiratet. Die Ehe bleibt lieb- und leidenschaftslos, und so flüchtet die einsame junge Frau in eine kurze Liaison mit dem Offizier Crampas. Aber auch in dieser Beziehung findet Effi keine Erfüllung. Jahre nach dem Ende der Affäre stößt der Baron auf die alten Liebesbriefe von Crampas - und tötet diesen in einem Duell. Innstetten verstößt Effi und entfremdet sie der gemeinsamen Tochter. Effis gesellschaftlicher Abstieg beginnt...

Fontanes Meisterwerk, das eine wahre Ehetragödie des späten 19. Jahrhunderts aufgreift, gilt als sein modernstes Werk, das am deutlichsten über die bürgerlich realistische Epoche hinaus in die Zukunft weist. Der 1895 veröffentlichte Roman zeigt den großen Humanisten auf der Höhe seines Schaffens.
