Project Gutenberg 2009-08-19 Public domain in the USA. 299 Boy-Ed, Ida 1852 1928 Ed, Ida Cornelia Ernestina Stille Helden: Roman Produced by Markus Brenner and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Stille Helden: Roman" by Ida Boy-Ed is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the life of an aging industrialist, referred to as the Geheimrat, who grapples with physical limitations following a stroke, his relationship with his son Wynfried, and the ongoing operations of his ironworks. As he reflects on his past, both personal and professional, themes of legacy, familial obligations, and the burdens of industry emerge, particularly in contrast to the quiet, enduring bravery of those who work silently in the shadows. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the Geheimrat in his expansive erker, where he navigates the challenges of his condition and the assistance from his long-serving servant, Leupold. The scene paints a poignant picture of the old man's struggle between frustration and a desire for independence, alongside a yearning for familial connection, particularly with his son Wynfried, whose past decisions weigh heavily on the father. As Wynfried enters the narrative, the tension between him and his father is palpable, revealing deeper issues of expectations and disappointments, all set against the backdrop of the industrial landscape that the Geheimrat has built. Through the rich descriptions of their surroundings and the internal conflicts of the characters, the reader is drawn into a world where personal challenges intertwine with the weight of legacy and the definition of true heroism.
