Abendfalter : Geschichten der Sehnsucht by Georg Busse-Palma
"Abendfalter : Geschichten der Sehnsucht" by Georg Busse-Palma is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The stories weave together themes of longing and desire, focusing on the emotional and often tumultuous lives of various characters. In the opening story, we are introduced to Brigitte Winterfeld, a seventeen-year-old girl navigating her feelings amid her relationships with a close friend, Otto Ehlers, and the estate manager, who evokes mixed
emotions within her. The opening of the book sets a melancholic and reflective tone as it explores Brigitte's youthful innocence contrasted with her burgeoning awareness of her own desires. On a seemingly ordinary Saturday afternoon, Brigitte revels in the joys of childhood, playing with the pastor's children, but her peace is disrupted by the presence of Otto, who soon departs, stirring feelings of sorrow and uncertainty in her. As the evening unfolds, Brigitte grapples with her profound sense of longing when she thinks of Otto's departure, leading to an encounter filled with sensual tension. The narrative artfully captures her internal struggles with self-identity and affection, laying the groundwork for the exploration of complex human emotions throughout the collection.
