12th of June 2021 marks the 200th anniversary of Luise Büchner's birthday:
Iris Welker-Sturm describes, mainly from the perspective of the main character, in dialogues, letters and dreams, how Luise Büchner, Georg Büchner's little sister, »makes her big brother big«, indeed saves him for posterity and for us in the first place - and above all develops her own voice as an author and campaigner for women's rights; how, despite this, the brothers, family, Gutzkow and the patriarchal society of her time try to override and overrule her; and finally how she makes herself heard, publicly, journalistically and, after her father's death, also literarily.
The action begins in 1838, one year after Georg Büchner's death. Luise is 17 years old. The protagonist's childhood and early youth are illuminated in brief flashbacks. The action ends with Luise's death in 1877. The story is set in Darmstadt and southern Hessen at the time of the Vormärz, the 1848 Revolution, the Restoration and the founding of the German Empire. The text largely sticks to the known historical facts, which Iris Welker-Sturm has researched in the best possible way and to which she adds exciting fictional elements.
For the ones who are especially fond of reading, HERE you can find the reading list, Iris Welker-Sturm has included in her novel.
