"Das wandernde Licht: Novelle" by Ernst von Wildenbruch is a novella written in the late 19th century. The story likely revolves around themes of mystery and psychological intrigue, focusing on the enigmatic Baron Eberhard von Fahrenwald, who has returned to society under questionable circumstances following a prolonged absence. This return evokes both curiosity and concern within the community, particularly regarding his mental state and his relationship with Anna von Glassner, a humble young woman. The opening of the novella sets the stage in a quiet evening atmosphere after a train has arrived at a small station near Breslau. Two men exit the train, one of whom is a doctor known in the area. The other traveler, who is unfamiliar with the place, engages the doctor in conversation, revealing a sense of foreboding surrounding the Baron and his family history. They notice a strange, flickering light in the Baron’s castle, which prompts lingering questions about the Baron’s well-being and raises suspicions about the events taking place within the castle. As the narrative unfolds, tensions regarding the Baron's mental health and his potential romantic pursuit of Anna introduce a blending of societal norms and inner turmoil that compels the reader to consider the intersections of love, madness, and secrecy.
