Summary "Der letzte Sommer: Eine Erzählung in Briefen" by Ricarda Huch is a fictional narrative crafted in the early 20th century. This epistolary work delves into the intricacies of family dynamics and social issues against the backdrop of a summer spent in a Russian estate. The characters, including a young secretary named Lju, who secretly harbors deadly intentions towards the governor, navigate their relationships amidst underlying tensions of societal change and personal ambitions. The opening of the narrative introduces us to a correspondence among various characters, revealing initial impressions and dynamics within the household of the governor. Lju has just assumed his role as the governor’s secretary, primarily to provide protection amid threats against the family. Through letters exchanged between family members, we learn about the their perceptions of Lju, who is navigating the delicate balance of integrating into the family while harboring ulterior motives. The letters reveal the daily life, social interactions, and individual personalities, especially focusing on family members like Welja, Jessika, and Katja, who each express their thoughts about their surroundings and the new secretary. The scene is set for a summer filled with both comical and serious undertones, highlighting personal aspirations and broader societal conflicts. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
