Waldfried: A Novel
Produced by Charles Bowen, from page scans provided by the Web Archive
"Waldfried: A Novel" by Berthold Auerbach is a literary work written in the late 19th century. This novel explores themes of family, return, and the interplay between personal ambition and societal upheaval, primarily through the lens of household dynamics and political revolutions of the time. The central figure appears to be Ludwig Waldfried, whose ties to his family and homeland become focal in the narrative. The opening of the story begins with a letter from Ludwig's son, Ludwig, who conveys the deep emotional ties of family and the yearning to return home after turbulent times abroad. Through Ludwig's reflections, we learn about his family's history, his encounters with various characters like Rothfuss, the devoted servant, and hints of the social and political challenges they face during significant historical upheavals, including revolutions and conflicts. The father's anticipation of reunion with his children, particularly the granddaughter, Wolfgang, sets a tone of hopeful reunification against the backdrop of personal and national strife. The narrative thus introduces us to a tapestry of lives interwoven with nature, familial bonds, and the yearning for a peaceful resolution amidst the chaos of emerging national identities.
