Ebook: Tagebücher: Band VI 1906–1916

This sixth volume covers the last decade of Ebner-Eschenbach's life. It is a period in which she not only received a number of late honors but was also astonishingly prolific. Alongside her autobiographical works ("Meine Erinnerungen an Grillparzer") she also penned a significant number of short narratives. At the same time we experience Ebner-Eschenbach as a vigilant observer of current affairs. This is reflected in her accounts of developments ranging from the nationality conflicts looming ever larger within the Hapsburg monarchy to the outbreak of the First World War, which she responded to first with approval, then with growing skepticism and finally with abhorrence.
