| Summary |
"Familiensklaven" by Max Kretzer is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book appears to delve into the intricate relationships within a family unit, particularly focusing on the dynamics between a tutor named Kandidat Fröhlich and his young student, Walter, as well as other family members and domestic staff. The narrative is likely to explore themes of social class, personal struggles, and the idiosyncrasies of familial love and dependence. The opening of the novel introduces us to Kandidat Fröhlich, who arrives at the Roderich household for his daily lessons with Walter, only to find the usual teacher is out sick. He takes on various roles throughout the chaotic morning, balancing teaching with caring for the children in this upper-middle-class household. As he navigates the playful antics of the young Roderichs—especially Walter, who is depicted as a sensitive and somewhat fragile boy—Fröhlich's character unfolds. Observations about the interplay between children and household roles set the stage for deeper interactions within the family, hinting at potential conflicts and emotional ties as the story progresses.
