(Mary Joanna) 1842 1916 Safford, Mary Joanna Barbara Blomberg — Volume 02 This eBook was produced by David Widger "Barbara Blomberg — Volume 02" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. Set in the context of the tumultuous religious and social landscape of 16th-century Europe, the story revolves around Barbara, a spirited and beautiful young woman who is caught between her aspirations for a life of wealth and art, and the reality of her humble beginnings. The novel explores themes of ambition, love, and the complexities of personal and familial obligations. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Barbara's conflicting emotions as she navigates her relationships with two distinct suitors: Wolf Hartschwert, her childhood friend harboring deeper feelings for her, and the attractive nobleman Pyramus Kogel, who seeks her affections despite her reservations about his character. In this opening portion, Barbara is depicted as a strong-willed character determined to transform her simplistic life through the allure of beauty and music. Meanwhile, the narrative hints at the broader socio-political tensions of the time, particularly surrounding the Protestant Reformation, as characters voice their beliefs and fears over the changing world around them.
