Produced by Mike Pullen and Delphine Lettau;
"In St. Jürgen: Novelle" by Theodor Storm is a fictional narrative written in the late 19th century. The novella unfolds in a small, unassuming town, where the narrator reflects on his youth, mainly focusing on memories associated with a significant female figure in his life, Agnes, and the old maid Hansen, who once cared for him and his sister. The themes of nostalgia, loss, and the passage of time are echoed in the relationship between the characters and their connection to both nature and the past. The opening of "In St. Jürgen" introduces the setting, a quaint but somber coastal town characterized by an absence of trees and old, dark houses. The narrator reminisces about the arrival of spring with the return of storks and swallows, evoking a sense of longing and memory tied to his childhood. As he reflects, he mentions the St. Jürgen hospice, an important place in his youth where both community and personal history intertwine. The narrator describes moments spent with old Hansen, who has a fondness for swallows and who represented stability and care in a time when his family faced turmoil. Their interactions reveal hints of a deeper personal and social narrative, leading to themes of love, the burden of expectations, and the inevitable changes that accompany the passing years.
