Summary | "Olivia oder Die unsichtbare Lampe" by Jakob Wassermann is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the life of Olivia, a young girl navigating her childhood and adolescence marked by beauty, familial bonds, and emerging complexities of adult relationships. The story unfolds against the backdrop of Vienna, delving into themes of innocence, loss, societal expectations, and the quest for identity. The opening of the novel introduces us to a wealthy family gathering at the home of Professor Khuenbeck, where Olivia, the professor's daughter, is showcased amidst praises for her enchanting beauty. Olivia, initially filled with innocence, receives unexpected kindness from Robert Lamm, a family friend, who gently advises against treating her as a spectacle. As her father falls ill and subsequently dies, Olivia's world shifts dramatically. Amidst the struggles that follow, Lamm becomes a guiding figure, though the dynamics between them evolve as Olivia matures and grapples with her desires and aspirations. The initial chapters set the stage for Olivia's intricate relationships, the contrast of innocence against the harsh realities of adulthood, and the challenge of finding her place in a world filled with expectations and moral dilemmas.
