Effi Briest Effi Briest (1894) is realist Theodor Fontane's masterpiece and one of the most famous German novels of all time. Thomas Mann once said that if one had to reduce one's library to six novels, Effi Briest would have to be one of them [citation needed]. Its influence on Mann's early work Buddenbrooks is evident. Along with the more famous Anna Karenina and Madame Bovary, the novel forms a trilogy on marriage in the 19th century from the female point of view. All three are adultery tragedies. (See also Adultery in literature.)
