Summary "Vanha kauppiaskoti" by Gustav Freytag is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the small town of Ostrau, detailing the life of the royal account councilor Wohlfart and his experiences as a father to his prodigious son, Anton. The narrative explores themes of family, societal expectations, and the aspiration for a better life against the backdrop of a changing world. The opening of the novel introduces the setting of Ostrau and provides insight into the life of Wohlfart, a devoted husband and father who reveres his king and finds joy in his work. It describes the happiness of his family, particularly with the birth of their son Anton, who shows remarkable characteristics from a young age. As Anton grows, he becomes a source of pride for his father and a model for his peers. However, their idyllic life takes a turn with the death of Wohlfart's wife, prompting a poignant exploration of grief, parental responsibility, and the aspirations that come with forging a path to success in the business world. This opening portion sets the stage for Anton's journey as he prepares to seek a future in the bustling capital city, hinting at the adventures and challenges that lie ahead.
