Helene Böhlau
German writer (1859–1940)
Helene Böhlau (German: [he.ˈleː.nə ˈbøː.laʊ̯] ⓘ; 22 November 1859 in Weimar – 26 March 1940 in Augsburg) was a German novelist.[1]
Biography
She traveled much in the East, married Omar al-Raschid Bey (born as Friedrich Arnd) in Istanbul, and settled down in Munich. In 1888 her sketches of Weimar (Ratsmädelgeschichten) brought her a large measure of fame. She showed a leaning toward the Romantic school now and then, but on the whole her descriptions were realistic and her writing was imbued with passion.
