(Jakob Michael Reinhold) Der Landprediger Wikipedia page about this book: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Landprediger Thanks are given to Delphine Lettau for finding a huge collection of ancient German books in London "Der Landprediger" by Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz is a novel written in the late 18th century. The story centers around Johannes Mannheim, a young man raised in a strict clerical household, who struggles to reconcile his ambitions and desires with the expectations imposed upon him by his father and society. At the start of the novel, we meet Johannes as he is sent to university by his father, a devout clergyman. Despite his father's hopes that he will pursue a religious career with unwavering faith, Johannes finds himself increasingly intrigued by worldly knowledge and the experiences outside of his sheltered upbringing. Internal conflicts arise as he tries to forge his own identity—oscillating between the expectations of a religious life and his burgeoning interests in social circles and secular pleasures. This tension unfolds as he navigates various relationships, particularly with Luzilla, the daughter of a local clergyman, setting the stage for explorations of love, societal expectations, and personal fulfillment.
