About this book
A letter from America promises a reunion at a forest estate in Germany. Ludwig writes to his father that he plans to return with his wife and their son Wolfgang, whose recovery from illness has renewed their wish to come home. The father's account moves from this welcome news into memories of his children and Rothfuss, the trusted servant who once helped him during his years as a political prisoner.
Berthold Auerbach's historical novel connects household life with public conviction. Timber land, two sawmills and a farm give the family home a working setting, while the narrator's memories of the Frankfort Parliament bring political struggle into his personal history. Ludwig's practical work as a builder and the later exchanges among relatives and visitors reveal differing beliefs and loyalties.
