About the Author :
Clara Emma Amalia Viebig was a German author who lived from 17 July 1860 until 31 July 1952. Viebig was the daughter of a Prussian government official and was born in the German city of Trier. Hermann Göring was related to her. Clara's father was transferred when she was eight years old, and the family relocated to Düsseldorf, where she attended school. She frequently returned to the Moselle countryside in Trier and the surrounding area, where she took many walks. She was moved to live on the estate of some relatives in Posen when her father died, where she attended the local Luisenschule. Clara moved to Berlin with her mother when she was twenty years old. She traveled to Berlin to study music, but instead discovered that the stimulation of the huge metropolis, along with the landscapes she had already visited, was directing her toward a literary career. In 1896, she married Jewish Publisher Fritz Theodor Cohn (a partner in Fontane and Company, afterwards Egon Fleischel and Company). Clara began a flourishing writing career the next year, and her works were well praised. She spent the majority of her time after her marriage in Berlin and its suburbs (Schöneberg, Zehlendorf).
