This poignant tale delves into the themes of illness, existential reflection, and the intertwined experiences of its characters who find themselves in a sanatorium in Davos—popular at the time for tuberculosis treatment. The story encapsulates the trials of living with disease not just physically, but emotionally and psychologically as well. The plot revolves around Sylvester Glonner, a poet and tuberculosis patient, who navigates the complexities of life and death amidst a group of fellow patients, including the enigmatic actress Sybil Lindquist. As their relationships develop, the narrative explores profound themes of love, despair, and the inevitability of death. Through conversations among the patients, Klabund raises questions about medical practices, the nature of suffering, and the existential struggles of artists. As the story unfolds, Sybil prepares for a key theatrical performance that serves as a climax for her character while Sylvester grapples with feelings of inadequacy and the ephemeral nature of life, culminating in a dramatic and poignant conclusion that reflects the fragility of existence.
