Summary "Landolin" by Berthold Auerbach is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the lives and relationships of individuals in a rural setting, particularly focusing on the characters of Landolin, a proud farmer, and his beautiful daughter Thoma, alongside Anton, a miller's son who wishes to marry Thoma. The narrative explores themes of pride, class distinctions, and familial obligations, as well as the repercussions of violence and societal expectations. At the start of "Landolin," we are introduced to Anton's joyful anticipation of his betrothal to Thoma during a spring fair. The picturesque rural setting sets the stage for the interactions between characters, including Anton's father and Landolin, who have differing views on their socioeconomic status. As the day unfolds, we witness the complexities of relationships and the weight of familial pride. However, tension arises when a confrontation between Landolin and a former worker named Vetturi leads to a tragic accident, deeply impacting everyone involved, especially Thoma, who must navigate the aftermath of her father's actions and the implications for her future with Anton. The opening chapters establish a rich emotional landscape filled with hope, tension, and impending conflict. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
