"Den Underbara Spegeln" by Otto Witt is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in Berlin during the year 1950, the story revolves around Lieutenant Wolfgang Schnitler, who unexpectedly becomes an heir to a significant fortune after his wealthy uncle, an eccentric astronomer, passes away. However, to inherit the ten million marks, Wolfgang must solve the mystery surrounding the planet Mars within two years, a task fraught with intrigue, potential betrayal, and competition from others who seek to stake their claim on the inheritance. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to the oppressive heat of a Berlin summer day. In this setting, Wolfgang Schnitler cheerfully discusses his uncle's death and impending fortune with his opportunistic friend Fritz Cramer. Soon after, Wolfgang learns that his uncle's will ties his inheritance to solving the so-called "Mars riddle." As the plot unfolds, it becomes clear that Cramer has ulterior motives regarding Wolfgang's wealth. Meanwhile, rumors about a mysterious benefactor prompt a flurry of interest from astronomers keen to unlock the secrets of Mars. The opening chapters set the stage for a tale of ambition, deception, and the quest for knowledge, as Wolfgang navigates this complex web of relationships and hidden agendas.
