"Ein Parcerie-Vertrag" by Friedrich Gerstäcker is a narrative work written in the late 19th century. The book serves as a cautionary tale for emigrants and their friends, highlighting the dangers associated with contracts enticing individuals to leave their homeland for a new life abroad, specifically in Brazil. The story centers on Carl Gottlieb Behrens, a day laborer who contemplates emigrating with his family in search of better opportunities after struggling with poverty and illness back home. The opening of the tale introduces Behrens as he navigates the pressures of his difficult life as a laborer in Germany. He learns about a contract that promises free passage to Brazil, where he hopes to find prosperity and a fresh start for his family. However, he is cautioned by a fellow laborer and a schoolmaster about the risks of such agreements, which can lead to exploitation and serious consequences for those unaware of the potential pitfalls. The narrative sets a tone of informed mistrust, as Behrens grapples with the decision to pursue this life-changing move while confronting the allure of a better life against the harsh realities he faces at home.
