| Summary | "Der Hasenroman" by Francis Jammes is a novel written in the early 20th century that blends allegory and poetic prose. The book follows the journey of a rabbit named Langohr, exploring themes of companionship, faith, and the dichotomy between nature and civilization. Through this anthropomorphic tale, Jammes addresses the existential dilemmas faced by beings in a rapidly changing world. The narrative begins with Langohr living a life filled with the instinctual joys and fears of a wild rabbit, but his fate shifts when he encounters Saint Francis, who becomes a figure of protection and comfort. As they share adventures, Langohr learns about love and trust, shielded by the companionship of other animals, including dogs and birds. The story takes a poignant turn as winter arrives, leading to hardships that challenge his newfound beliefs. Ultimately, after pondering his place in the world, Langohr chooses to embrace mortality over eternal tranquility, realizing the importance of his earthly experiences. Thus, the rabbit's journey becomes an exploration of the paradox between seeking safety in a heavenly existence and cherishing the vibrant, albeit dangerous, life on earth.
