The new edition of the impressive novel includes an afterword by Karlheinz Müller.
With Proserpina, one of the most impressive works by the German author Elisabeth Langgässer now available in a carefully crafted new edition – supplemented by an afterword by Karlheinz Müller . The poetic novel tells the story of a girl who, after a serious illness, teeters between bouts of fever, anxieties, and intense visions. As she grapples with the loss of her father, the boundaries between the present and archaic myths blur.
Langgässer's dense imagery allows several levels of reality to merge: nature, the seasons, and symbolic motifs—both Christian and pagan—develop a capricious, magical power that shapes the child's fate. The result is a fascinating text that blends reality and myth into a powerfully atmospheric reading experience.
