Theodor Fontane (1819-98) was born in a small Prussian town and then moved to Berlin. He worked for most of his life as a journalist, and spent many years in London as a foreign correspondent for the Prussian intelligence agency. He began writing novels at the age of fifty-seven, and these works earned him an enduring reputation in German letters. Several of his realist masterpieces are published or forthcoming from Pushkin Press, including No Way Back and Effi Briest.
'On Tangled Paths has the flawless logic and beautiful design of the novella at its best' - Paul Binding 'There is an undertow of sadness to this novel, yet to read it is a joy, for its humanity, subtlety and visual immediacy' - Ruth Pavey 'Theodor Fontanes first true masterpiece; it has a perfect beginning, a perfect ending, and no superfluous sentence in between' - Henry Garland 'A tender and wistful love story... [Peter James Bowmans] translation is excellent' - Martin Swales
