Synopsis
Three Paths to the Lake, Ingeborg Bachmann's second and final collection of short stories, consists of five narratives about the lives and loves of five different women. Socially uprooted and emotionally isolated, each protagonist struggles with possibilities for survival in the 1960s. Bachmann's portraits reflect a compassionate yet unswerving perception of humanity.
