Description

1915. Anne Douglas Sedgwick (Mrs. Basil de Selincourt), expatriate American writer whose best-selling fiction observed European and American cultural differences. Sedgwick writes that those familiar with the life of a famous modern philosopher will find a resemblance to his tragicomic love affair in the story of Ludwig Wehlitz and Persis Fennamy. The book begins: It was very still in the Pension Muller. The oil-lamp had been thriftily extinguished in the entrance hall an hour before, and it was two hours since the band had ceased playing in the Kur-Garten. The last murmurs of the little German watering-place, held in the shallow cup of its surrounding hills, came, irresolutely, lethargically, through the open window where Persis Fennamy sat, like the broken words of a child that falls asleep. The window was at the back of the pension and overlooked, from its top story, the gnarled old apple-trees in the garden below, where tin tables stood among untidy grass.
