Lotti, Die Uhrmacherin

Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

Thirty-five-year-old Lotti Feßler works independently as a watchmaker in the capital and preserves her late father’s treasured collection. When the writer Hermann von Halwig returns, painful memories linking him to Lotti and her brother Gottfried resurface. Across fourteen chapters, the novella considers craft, art, loyalty, independence, and the cost of selfless help.
