Life of the Swedish Countess of G** (Das Leben der schwedischen Grafin von G, 1747/48) is a novel by Christian Fürchtegott Gellert. It tested the options of rationality. The titular countess had to decide between two husbands after her first, believed to be dead, returned from a Siberian war captivity. Both her husbands, former friends, had to come to terms with the rational problem her situation presented (and did it in a startling mixture of piety and modern philosophy).
