Fenitschka/Deviations: Two Novellas

Synopsis

The author of these two novellas, Lou Andreas-Salomé, is not as well known through her own writing as through her friendships with such men as Friedrich Nietzsche, Rainer Maria Rilke, Sigmund Freud, Martin Buber, et al., exceptional men upon whom she had a significant influence. As one of the first women to study at a European university, her relationships with men differed vastly from those of other women of her time, making her one of the avant-garde of the women's movement.
