Vor Dem Sturm: Roman Aus Dem Winter 1812 Auf 13 (1980) By Theodore Fontane
 
Written in German Text
 
Before the Storm: A Novel of the Winter of 1812-13
 
The text of this book is extracted from the third and fourth volumes of Theodor Fontane's historical romance, Vor dem Sturm. It deals with an important and stirring chapter in Prussian history, the momentous period immediately preceding the War of Liberation in 1813. The narrative is not only instructive from a historical point Of view, but is also eminently calculated to enlarge the student's acquaintance with the customs and manners of the German people.
 
This was the first of Fontane's sixteen novels, most of which became classics of the realist genre. Set in Berlin, shortly before the Prussians rebelled against Napolean, the novel resembles War and Peace.
