Theodor Fontane (1819-98), widely regarded as Germany's most significant novelist between Goethe and Thomas Mann, pioneered the German novel of manners and upper-class society, following a trend in European fiction of the period. The Stechlin is Fontane's last book and his political testament. Like Effi Briest, his great work on the place of women in Bismarck's empire, it is set at the apex of the Wilhelmine era, both in Berlin and on the estate of a Prussian Junker on the shores of Lake Stechlin. It is a significant historical and cultural document, probably the finest chronicle of the lifestyle of the German upper classes in the late nineteenth century; Fontane portrays the best in the life and ways of the passing Prussian aristocracy, while describing his hopes for the future of Germany and its nobility, which were never to be fully realized. Although this novel has been translated into many languages, it has never before been available in English; this edition thus fills an important gap in the significant works of European literature accessible to English readers.

Der Stechlin entstand in den Jahren 1895 bis 1897 und wurde erstmals 1897 in der Zeitschrift " ber Land und Meer" publiziert. Die Buchausgabe erschien 1899. Der Stechlin ist Fontanes letzter gro er Roman. Seine Hauptfigur, der alte Dubslav von Stechlin, tr gt den gleichen Namen wie der tats chlich existierende nahegelegene See, der stimmungsvoll in die m rkische Landschaft eingebettet ist. Leichthin gef hrte Unterhaltungen und tiefsinnige Gespr che vermitteln die Melancholie einer Sp tzeit, voll Skepsis und doch vers hnlich. Die mit Sympathie gezeichnete Hauptfigur tr gt Z ge ihres Autors, der im Jahr nach der Ver ffentlichung starb.
