Was ich geschaut: Novellen by Irma von Troll-Borostyání
"Was ich geschaut: Novellen" by Irma von Troll-Borostyání is a collection of novellas written in the late 19th century. The book explores various human emotions and social issues through different narratives, likely featuring a range of characters dealing with life's challenges, such as illness, familial duties, and the struggle for happiness amidst adversity. The opening of the first novella, "Erlöst!", introduces us to Gabriele, a mother anxiously tending to her sick child,
Erich, who is suffering from a severe illness. As she cares for him, her husband, Otto von Brauneck, is more concerned with entertaining guests and playing cards, showing a striking contrast between parental responsibilities and personal desires. Tension arises as Gabriele pleads with Otto to stay with their son during this critical time. The emotional turmoil culminates in a tragic turn, leaving Gabriele to grapple with her son’s fate and her husband's moral shortcomings. This opening sets a poignant tone for the collection, hinting at the deeper themes of sacrifice and the complexities of human relationships. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
