Edna Ferber

    15. August 1885 – 16. April 1968

    Edna Ferber war eine amerikanische Romanautorin, deren Werke sich oft auf starke weibliche Protagonistinnen und ein reiches Mosaik an Nebenfiguren konzentrierten. Durch ihre Erzählungen untersuchte Ferber die menschliche Verfassung und vertrat die Überzeugung, dass Menschen Menschen sind und dass diejenigen am Rande oft den größten Charakter besitzen. Ihr Schreiben zeichnet sich durch lebendige Darstellungen und ein gutes Gespür für die Nuancen des amerikanischen Lebens aus. Ferbers literarische Bedeutung liegt in ihrer aufschlussreichen Auseinandersetzung mit der Gesellschaft und ihrem anhaltenden Fokus auf Charaktere, die Vorurteile und Diskriminierung erlebten.
