About this listen

 Die 17-jährige Effi heiratet auf Wunsch ihrer Eltern den zwanzig Jahre älteren Baron von Instetten. Die leidenschaftslose Ehe und das einsame Leben in Hinterpommern sind so unbefriedigend, dass sie eine Affäre mit Major Crampas beginnt. Als diese kurze Liaison Jahre später ans Licht kommt, verstößt Instetten Effi und erschießt den Major zur Widerherstellung seiner Ehre im Duell. Auch ihre Eltern wenden sich von Effi ab, um die gesellschaftlichen Konventionen zu wahren, so dass sie in eine kleine Wohnung ziehen muss, dort von allen verstoßen erkrankt und schließlich stirbt, zerbrochen an den gesellschaftlichen Konventionen im Preußen des späten 19. Jahrhunderts.
Fontanes Roman behandelt zwei Themen von "geradezu brennender Aktualität", wie es der Produzent Günter Rohrbach beschreibt: Zwangsverheiratung und Ehrenmord. Im Februar 2009 kam der von ihm produzierte Film mit Julia Jentsch ins Kino.©2009 HörbucHHamburg HHV GmbH (P)2009 HörbucHHamburg HHV GmbH Classics European
