Unschuld: Ein modernes Mädchenbuch

A collection of linked sketches, short stories, and essays that examine the interior lives of young women as they encounter secret affections, family oversight, and the pressures of urban life. Vignettes portray furtive schoolroom romances, forbidden readings, familial admonitions, and chance city encounters, while embedded fairy tales and conversational pieces probe themes of innocence, coming-of-age, and moral conflict. An introductory address speaks directly to girls, framing the texts as reflections on purity, selfhood, and the struggle to reconcile youthful idealism with worldly experience.
