Summary "Unter den Hohen Tauern: Ein Roman aus der Steiermark" by Arthur Achleitner is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds through the lives of the foresters and their interactions with the changing nature of their forest and the new circumstances brought by the arrival of a female landowner. The main characters introduced include Oberförster Ambros Hartlieb, the strict forest master, and Benjamin Gnugesser, his more easygoing counterpart, as they navigate tensions and duties on the eve of a new era in the management of the land. At the start of the novel, we find ourselves on a hot August afternoon in the alpine region of Admont, where ominous storm clouds gather over the rugged landscape. The narrative primarily follows Oberförster Hartlieb and Forstwart Gnugesser as they trek to the Pyrgas hunting lodge amidst rising tensions over their duties. They are preoccupied with the changes that a new mistress of the estate, the Fürstin, will bring to their way of working and governing the hunting areas. The storm serves as a metaphor for the uncertainties looming over them, and their interactions reveal dynamic personalities as they prepare for the challenges that lie ahead in their professional lives and the implications of a woman's influence over a traditionally male role in the timber and hunting industries.
