<p>Nick Ribbeck was a simple soul whose chief delight was to watch his garden and his fruit trees through the seasons, and especially his favorite pear tree. For in the fall of the year, he filled his coat pockets with ripe pears, and gave one to every boy or girl he happened to meet. But he grew old, and knew that his end was near. His last request was that a ripe pear be buried in his grave. When he died, he was mourned by his friends, but he was missed more by the children. Nick Ribbeck’s son and heir was a stingy, narrow-faced little man who never let the children into the garden, and never shared the glowing fruit, preferring to see it fall to the ground rather than given away. But in a few years’ time, there in the churchyard grew a wonderful pear tree above Nick Ribbeck’s grave, giving its golden fruit freely to every passing child.</p>

The first English translation of a mature work by the greatest German novelist of the nineteenth century, a brilliant portrait of a female in a starkly male-dominated society. A story of mutual sexual attraction at a fashionable spa moves to a grim climax among the high-society fringe of Berlin. Given the author's sympathy with the position of a woman in a man's world, and the setting of the new German capital of Berlin, this is as relevant today as when it was first written. ""Conveys an astonishingly full picture of German society in rapid and often costly change."" - The Times. ""Written with wit and a controlled fury and Radcliffe's elegant translation does it superb justice. More, please."" - The Observer. ""This is a solid, long-overdue, and welcome contribution to the body of classical works of German literature in translatio

In Front des schon seit Kurfürst Georg Wilhelm von der Familie von Briest bewohnten Herrenhauses zu Hohen-Cremmen fiel heller Sonnenschein auf die mittagsstille Dorfstraße, während nach der Park- und Gartenseite hin ein rechtwinklig angebauter Seitenflügel einen breiten Schatten erst auf einen weiß und grün quadrierten Fliesengang und dann über diesen hinaus auf ein großes, in seiner Mitte mit einer Sonnenuhr und an seinem Rande mit Canna indica und Rhabarberstauden besetzten Rondell warf. Einige zwanzig Schritte weiter, in Richtung und Lage genau dem Seitenflügel entsprechend, lief eine ganz in kleinblättrigem Efeu stehende, nur an einer Stelle von einer kleinen weißgestrichenen Eisentür unterbrochene Kirchhofsmauer, hinter der der Hohen-Cremmener Schindelturm mit seinem blitzenden, weil neuerdings erst wieder vergoldeten Wetterhahn aufragte.
