Summary: "The World's Illusion, Volume 2: Ruth" by Jakob Wassermann is a novel written in the early 20th century. This volume continues to explore the complex lives and relationships of its characters amidst themes of identity, societal expectations, and moral ambiguity. Central to the narrative is Christian Wahnschaffe, whose troubling journey follows his estrangement from his affluent family and subsequent entanglement with a woman of questionable background, Karen Engelschall. The opening of the novel reveals Wolfgang Wahnschaffe returning home, concerned about his brother Christian's troubling reputation and the rumors surrounding him. As Wolfgang navigates silent familial tensions and hears whispers of scandal involving Christian and a perceived 'loose woman', the narrative lays the groundwork for deeper explorations of social class and personal failure. The father, Albrecht Wahnschaffe, is depicted grappling with shame and worry over Christian’s decisions, while conversations reveal the family's status, secrets, and societal pressures, initiating an intricate plot that unfolds around themes of redemption and personal transformation.
