About the author
Born in Düsseldorf in 1897 and raised in Esslingen am Neckar, Emma Waiblinger was a German writer who started writing plays and stories when she was still a child. Standard biographical records also identify her as having worked as a midwife and nanny.
Waiblinger died in Esslingen am Neckar in 1923, only 26 years old. Even with such a brief life, her work endured well enough to be cataloged by major German biographical references and preserved in digital libraries.
One of her known works is Die Ströme des Namenlos, which is available through Project Gutenberg. The surviving record suggests a young author of strong literary ambition whose career ended far too soon.
