"The Lonely House" by Adolf Streckfuss is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a naturalist named Professor Dollnitz, who embarks on a journey to Southern Ukraine to collect rare specimens, but instead finds himself embroiled in a dark mystery involving a local murder. The narrative delves into the complex interactions between the inhabitants of the area, shedding light on themes of nationality, love, and animosity. At the start of the novel, the Professor's excitement for scientific exploration quickly transforms into tension and horror as he discovers the murder of Pollenz, a local usurer, in the titular Lonely House. The Professor's detailed observations of the area and the people he meets set the stage for a gripping investigation. As the district judge and other local dignitaries speculate about the murderer, a young man named Franz Schorn becomes a focal point of suspicion, particularly given his contentious history with the victim. The initial chapters establish a rich atmosphere of intrigue and foreshadow the unfolding drama that combines elements of personal conflict and community dynamics.
