Jeroen Hellingman and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net/ for Project Gutenberg "Germania" by Bernard Alexander Canter is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative appears to explore the lives and adventures of a family of Belfers in ancient Germany, set against a backdrop of pagan beliefs and tribal conflicts. The characters, especially Sigbert and his three sons, seem to grapple with the harsh realities of survival in a wilderness filled with both the bounty of nature and the dangers that it brings. The opening of the story focuses on Sigbert, the patriarch, and his three sons as they navigate a dense forest, reflecting on their dire circumstances after four days of wandering without sustenance. Tension mounts as they face not only physical hardships but also the existential concerns driven by their reliance on capricious gods for guidance. Through their discussions, the boys express differing opinions on the divine, particularly regarding the goddess Nehalennia, leading to a deeper exploration of faith and the consequences of their choices. Amidst their tribulations, an unexpected encounter with a wild boar and the personal dynamics between the siblings add to the unfolding drama, hinting at the larger conflicts that permeate their world.
