Summary: "Rund um den Kreuzturm: Roman aus den Dresdner Maitagen von 1849" by Gustav Hildebrand is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. This narrative explores the daily life and tensions of citizens and soldiers in Dresden during the revolutionary days of 1849, capturing the atmosphere of change and unrest. The story follows characters like Korporal Heinrich Mißbach and his family, highlighting their personal struggles against the backdrop of political upheaval. The opening portion of the novel sets the stage by depicting a tranquil Dresden evening after a sunny day, where the bustling atmosphere is filled with citizens enjoying their leisure, contrasted by the strict military presence in the city. As various characters interact, including soldiers and family members, we are introduced to the familial dynamics of the Mißbach family, particularly the tension between Heinrich and his father, Feldwebel Mißbach. The narrative foreshadows conflicts not only within the family but also with broader societal issues as Heinrich grapples with his sense of duty versus personal desires. The writing vividly contrasts the warmth of familial ties with the cold grip of duty and societal expectations, thus drawing readers into the complexities faced during this period.
