Sinopsis

The Two Countesses is a novel written by Marie Ebner Von Eschenbach and first published in 1893. Set in Austria during the 18th century, the story revolves around two countesses, one of whom is the legitimate wife of a count, while the other is his mistress. The two women lead very different lives - the countess is wealthy, respected and has a comfortable life, while the mistress is poor, shunned by society and lives in poverty. The novel explores themes of love, jealousy, social status and the role of women in society. It also delves into the complexities of human relationships and the choices people make in life. The story is told from the perspective of various characters, including the two countesses, the count, and other members of their social circle. The Two Countesses is considered a classic of Austrian literature and has been translated into several languages. It is a compelling read that offers a glimpse into the social norms and values of the time, while also exploring universal themes that are still relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
