Summary "Barbara Blomberg — Volume 07" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the turbulent life of Barbara Blomberg, who is faced with profound challenges as she navigates her feelings for Erasmus Eckhart, a young theologian, and her place in the court society where political and personal intrigues unfold. The backdrop of the story is set against the historical tensions of the Reformation, providing a rich context for Barbara's experiences and the complexities of her relationships. The opening portion of the novel introduces a chaotic stormy night where Barbara encounters Erasmus, who is mistakenly accused of theft. Despite her protests about his character, the marquise insists on his arrest, revealing the societal pressures and dangers they both face. Barbara’s internal struggles begin to surface as she reflects on her actions and the resulting ingratitude she feels after sacrificing something precious to save Erasmus, leading her to contemplate her decisions deeply. Her determination is highlighted when she decides to brave the storm to seek help for Erasmus, showing her strong-willed nature and setting the stage for the emotional and dramatic events to unfold.
