Too Rich: A Romance
Produced by Charles Bowen, from page scans provided by the Web Archive
"Too Rich: A Romance" by Adolf Streckfuss is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Eva Schommer, a wealthy heiress grappling with the societal perceptions and challenges that come with her fortune, and the complex relationships she has with various suitors, including Lieutenant Leo von Heydeck and Lieutenant Guido von Bertram. Themes of pride, love, and class distinction are evident as Eva's beauty and wealth draw both admiration and contempt, complicating her quest for genuine connection. At the start of the narrative, we find ourselves in a bustling restaurant on a hot summer day where a group of young officers is discussing social events and ladies of interest, including Eva Schommer. Among them, Leo von Heydeck dismisses the adoration of Eva, leading to an argument with Bertram, who is eager to defend her honor. This quarrel escalates into a challenge for a duel, raising the stakes dramatically. Meanwhile, Eva experiences a tumult of emotions upon learning about the confrontation, vowing to prevent the duel and hoping to instigate a change in the dynamics of her relationships. As she navigates through the repercussions of wealth and reputation, her interactions promise complications and developments that will ensue as the tale unfolds.
