Summary "Wie wir einst so glücklich waren!" by Wilhelm Speyer is a novella written in the early 20th century. The text dives into themes of loneliness, nostalgia, and the exploration of youth and identity through the eyes of the protagonist, a young man named Walter Regnitz. The story sets up a poignant contrast between the protagonist's current melancholic existence and the vibrant past he longs to remember. At the start of the narrative, the atmosphere is suffused with the autumnal melancholy as Walter reflects on his isolation while observing the relentless rain. He is filled with a profound sense of loneliness, realizing that he has no one to confide in or share his life with, not even a pet to keep him company. Walter’s memories drift to a summer filled with happiness spent in a nobleman's estate, where he recalls a young woman, Nina, whom he adored. As the opening unfolds, we witness the beginning of Walter's self-exploration as he navigates the paradox of feeling unworthy of love in a world that promises connection and fulfillment.
