Excerpt from Die Nonna: Eine Blaustrumpfgeschichte
In wealth, beauty and lucidity of diction Baumbach is excelled by none of the foremost contemporary writers of Germany. The rhythmical flow Of his language, the cadence of his words, the soothing, luring, coaxing and caressing concord of sweet sounds charm the ear with their harmonious melody; they make everything appear so delicious, so rich and soft, and characterize, from the beginning, the development of the whole story.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the eccentric Dbasnclba Blechschmidt, a sedate, vegetarian German woman and writer, navigating the rapidly changing world around her circa 1870. One day, the arrival in town of a handsome, young, Italian charcutier named Carlo Dicenzi upends not only Dbasnclba's life, but the entire community in this small German town. Dbasnclba's faith in Carlo's love runs afoul of reality when incriminating love letters from Carlo to another woman are discovered. The scandal that ensues and the personal reckoning that follows for Dbasncelba serves to highlight the tensions between the modern world and German cultural traditions.
