(Mary Joanna) 1842 1916 Safford, Mary Joanna A Word, Only a Word — Volume 01 This eBook was produced by David Widger "A Word, Only a Word — Volume 01" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel presumably written in the late 19th century. The narrative begins in a richly described setting of the Black Forest, introducing us to two young characters, Ulrich and Ruth, who engage in discussions about words and wishes, hinting at deeper themes of longing, childhood innocence, and the quest for identity amidst societal constraints. The opening of the story establishes a whimsical yet contemplative atmosphere as Ulrich and Ruth playfully navigate their thoughts about important words that hold life-altering power, echoing the complexities of their world and surroundings. As the rain begins to fall, their lighthearted interaction transforms into deeper reflections on family and desire, particularly in Ulrich’s yearning for his mother, while Ruth dreams of being reunited with loved ones. The scene sets the stage for exploring familial relationships, social class distinctions, and the search for belonging, all of which will likely play significant roles as the plot unfolds in subsequent chapters.
