Effi Briest

Unworldly young Effi Briest is married off to Baron von Innstetten, an austere and ambitious civil servant twice her age, who has little time for his new wife. Isolated and bored, Effi finds comfort and distraction in a brief liaison with Major Crampas, a married man with a dangerous reputation.

Tanarul neplacut Effi Briest este casatorit cu baronul von Innstetten, un functionar public auster si ambitios de doua ori mai mare decat ea, care are putin timp pentru noua lui sotie. Izolat si plictisit, Effi gaseste confort si distragere a atentiei intr-o scurta legatura cu maiorul Crampas, un barbat casatorit cu o reputatie periculoasa.
