Glanz der Ferne

Berlin in the years 1897-1900: the dramatic finale of the great historical saga about a Berlin family of factory owners by bestselling author Iny Lorentz The von Hartung and von Gentzsch families are facing troubled times in Berlin at the end of the 19th century. In the meantime, Theo von Hartung has taken over the management of the cloth factory from his father, but orders are being cancelled more and more frequently or prices are being lowered on flimsy grounds. At the same time, Vicky von Gentzsch, the niece of Theo and Rieke, makes the acquaintance of an enchanting lady who introduces her to the sophisticated circles of high-born Berlin society. Here, Vicky seems to expect a life that is so much more interesting and free than her stiff home with her strict father Gustav. But appearances are deceptive: Vicky's new friend has no intention of helping the girl to a better life ... Iny Lorentz's historical novels offer exciting entertainment at the highest level. With her Berlin trilogy about the von Hartung family of factory owners, the Spiegel bestselling author brings the 19th century in Germany to life and skilfully interweaves political turmoil with personal fates. The historical family saga consists of the novels "Tage des Sturms" (1846-1849), "Licht in den Wolken" (1864-1870) and "Glanz der Ferne" (1897-1900).
