Werner is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the character of Hartmut Falkenried, a young man grappling with the imposing expectations of his father and the tumultuous legacy of his mother, Zalika, whose return threatens to disrupt the fragile balance in Hartmut's life. Caught between the strict discipline of his military upbringing and the passionate allure of his mother, Hartmut's struggle for identity and freedom drives the narrative. The opening of the novel sets the stage for Hartmut's internal conflict, portraying a haunting dinner conversation between his father, Major Falkenried, and his friend Wallmoden, who discuss the son's exceptional talents and troubling disposition. The narrative then shifts to Hartmut's experience at the Burgsdorf estate, where he struggles with the constraints imposed by his father's military status and the looming specter of his mother's return. The beginning introduces the tension that arises from Hartmut’s emerging independence versus his father's authoritative presence, foreshadowing a clash of wills that will impact all their lives. As the first chapter progresses, the complexities of familial loyalty, love, and the impact of past decisions are woven together, inviting readers to delve deeper into Hartmut's world and his quest for personal freedom amidst adversity.
