Her autobiographical novel offers a sharp critique of patriarchy and the social injustices of the last decade of the German Empire, infused with a mysticism that celebrates sexual love as a spiritual gift and assigns saintly status to beggars and sex workers. Over a century after the novel's publication, this translation finally introduces an important modernist voice to English-language readers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKatharina Rout\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor Emerita at Vancouver Island University, where she specialized in teaching Literature in Translation and Transnational Literature.
