Fenitschka - A Woman's Silent Struggle
Lou Andreas-Salomé's short novel Fenitschka tells the story of a young woman's search for internal freedom trying to exist within the strict social norms of the period. Fenya appears as a strong character with both his ideas and his feelings. With his love, friendship, passion for freedom and the emotional collapses he experienced, he literally
It is "human".
Fena's biggest struggle is not within itself, but with the society that tries to suppress it. The fact that he had to live even a noble feeling like love secretly is not his, but the tragedy of his age. Salomé presents a strong criticism of the suppression of female identity through this character.
Fenitschka is not only an individual story, but also an explanation of the invisible presence of women in society.
I recommend this short but narrative-intensive book to everyone!
