About this book
The Progressionists, and Angela is presented as translated from the German of Conrad von Bolanden. The first chapter, headed THE WAGER, opens on the balcony of the palais Greifmann, which holds three persons who together represent four million florins. Seraphin Gerlach, the youthful landholder, is possessor of two millions and has a quiet disposition, very calm, and habitually thoughtful.
Schwefel tells Mr. Greifmann that Shund is notorious as a hard-hearted usurer and that a man of such low practices must never fill a public office. A speaker called the landowner warns, We are on the verge of a fearful social revolution which threatens to break up society. Frank says someone has included in one sentence the whole of materialism, and Klingenberg says that thought can neither be seen nor felt, yet it is an existence.
