Translation of nineteenth-century novel of life in a still-feudal Moravian village. Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach (1830-1916) is Austria's most important nineteenth-century woman writer, but her works have remained largely unknown to English speakers, even her most important, the compelling Their Pavel, firstpublished serially in 1887. Based on a true incident, Their Pavel investigates the troubled social relations of a Moravian village that is endowed with the right of local governance but steeped in the habits of its feudalrelationship to the local barony. The novel explores the parallel fates of the children of a hanged murderer and thief. Milada, the appealing and alert daughter, is adopted on a whim by the aging baroness, while Pavel, the awkwardand taciturn son, is thrown upon the uncertain mercy of the village, but both suffer the stigma of their father's crime. In her sometimes grimly humorous picture of village life, the author spares neither the Catholic Church northe landed aristocracy nor the villagers themselves.

The fifth volume of the "Diaries" is of especial culture-historical interest. It was in the autumn of 1898 that Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach (1830-1916) first visited Rome, a sojourn of several months to be followed by a number of others in the subsequent years. The record of her impressions in the "Diaries" is extremly minute, reflecting very clearly her intention to achieve as personal an approach as possible to the cultural and historical significance of this city. The volume also includes a 'supplement' in the form of the travelogue "Aus Rom. An meine Freunde," first published in the "Gartenlaube" periodical (1900) and not otherwise accessible. A comparison of this text with the notes in her diary provides impressive testimony of the process leading from the first jottings to the finished literary version of her experiences in Rome.
