"Der Mensch ist gut" by Leonhard Frank is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Robert, a servant in a German hotel restaurant, who embodies the struggles and dignity of the working class amidst the backdrop of World War I. The opening sets the stage for a poignant exploration of love, loss, and guilt, as Robert grapples with the death of his son in the war, leading to a profound realization about the nature of humanity and the horrors of conflict. The opening portion of the book introduces Robert's life as a dedicated father and servant, emphasizing his unwavering love for his son and his aspirations for his future. The narrative poignantly reveals Robert's inner turmoil following the tragic news of his son's death, as he confronts the emptiness of honor in war, criticized through his reflections on societal values. Struggling between despair and a deeper understanding of love, Robert ultimately questions the meaning of his existence, which culminates in a powerful realization of collective guilt and the urgent need for compassion in a world ravaged by violence.
