E. Marlitt

1825 - 1887.

Eugenia Marlitt, pseudónimo de Eugenia John, nació en Arnstadt (Turingia) el 5 de diciembre de 1825 . Dotada de una hermosa voz fue enviada por la princesa Mathilde Schwarzburg-Sonderhausen al conservatorio imperial de Viena cuando tenía dieciseis años. Dos años más tarde debutó en la ópera pero después de sus primeros éxitos en Linz, Graz y Lemberg, una enfermedad del oído, que la dejaría sorda, la obligó a renunciar a sus triunfos escénicos. Entonces volvió al servicio de su protectora como dama de honor y lectora pero, debido a problemas financieros de la princesa, debió abandonar la corte.

Aunque ya había escrito algunas historias, es entonces cuando empieza en ella a germinar la idea de dedicarse a la escritura. Se dio a conocer en la revista Die Gartenlaube, un semanario muy popular en las clases acomodadas alemanas de la época, publicado en Leipzig. Bajo el pseudónimo de E. Marlitt publicó en 1865 sus primeros trabajos y en 1866 alcanzará su primer gran éxito con Goldelse, traducida al español como Isabel, la de los cabellos de oro. En esta revista publicaría todas sus novelas, siempre bajo el mismo pseudónimo.
Su éxito hizo que la revista multiplicara varias veces sus ventas, y que Eugenie recibiera suficientes honorarios como para construirse una casa en Arnstadt “Villa Marlitt”, a la que se mudó en 1871 con su padre. Siempre enferma y a pesar de que la artritis que padecía la obligó a pasar sus últimos años en una silla de ruedas, no abandonó la literatura y murió en 1887 dejando una novela inconclusa, La casa de los búhos. La ciudad de Arnstadt la honró poniéndole su nombre a una calle y erigiéndole un monumento.
