About the author

Marie Bernhard was a German writer born on November 7, 1852, in Königsberg. Reference sources identify her as a novelist and storyteller, and note that she also wrote under the pseudonym Bernhard Frey.

Her work appeared in the decades around the turn of the 20th century, and several titles remain traceable today, including Pariser Leben, Die Glücklichen, and Heimatluft. Even from these surviving records, she comes across as a writer whose books stayed in circulation long enough to be preserved and rediscovered by later readers.

Although biographical details are limited in the sources I could confirm, she is remembered as part of the long tradition of German women writers who published fiction at a time when literary careers for women were often harder to sustain and document. She died in 1937.
