Fischer is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the life of Bertha Krupp, the heiress of the powerful Krupp industrial empire, and her complex relationships with influential figures like the Kaiser. It explores themes of power, ambition, and the entanglements of family and politics during a turbulent historical period. The opening of the novel presents a vivid scene set in 1902, centering around Villa Huegel, the home of Frederick Krupp, a prominent figure in the arms industry. The narrative introduces the militaristic atmosphere of the time, with a focus on Bertha's father and the looming figure of the Kaiser, who seeks to manipulate family ties for his political agenda. As Frederick Krupp contemplates his legacy, the Kaiser reveals his desire to shape Bertha’s future, which foreshadows the battles over control of the Krupp works and Bertha's own autonomy. This establishes a backdrop of tension and intrigue, hinting at a heavy burden placed on the young heiress.
