Stephanie, Or, A Previous Existence

"Stephanie" is a unique blend of fantasy, dark comedy and acute social comment and is Herbert Rosendorfer's most brilliant novel since the publication of "The Architect of Ruins." What begins as a middle class German housewife's nightmare of another existence as an 18th century Spanish duchess who has murdered her husband, turns into reality. Stephanie accepts her prior existence and her crime, so that she can consummate her passion. It is an extraordinary work of art which has enjoyed critical and commercial success throughout Europe, and will shortly be made into a film.
