Lewin von Vitzewitz, now mature, increasingly finds himself at the heart of the resistance against the Napoleonic occupation. The novel spans from family conflicts at Hohen-Vitzewitz Castle to secret political exchanges, culminating in the atmosphere of change that leads to the mobilization against Napoleon in 1813. In his only major historical novel, Fontane demonstrates how personal responsibility and social action intertwine—in dialogues brimming with irony, rich detail, and humanity. \u003cbr\u003e\"Trials and Tribulations,\" on the other hand, tells an intimate story set in Fontane's contemporary Berlin: The young seamstress Lene Nimptsch falls in love with Baron Botho von Rienäcker—and he with her. But the relationship between the working class and the aristocracy is doomed from the start. Both are honest and sincere in their feelings, but societal expectations and familial constraints lead Botho to end the relationship. Lene is left behind—with dignity, but also with a deep scar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"568\" data-end=\"1169\"\u003e Fontane here creates a masterpiece of quiet tragedy, which works more through suggestion than through grand gestures – a novel of quiet tones, but great impact.\u003cbr\u003e \"Collected Novels and Novellas - Volume X\" is an unaltered, high-quality reprint of the original 1891 edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hansebooks GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57622972629341,"sku":"","price":25.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/4407\/2029\/files\/GesammelteRomaneundNovellen-BandX.jpg?v=1747749460","url":"https:\/\/hansebooks.com\/en\/products\/gesammelte-romane-und-novellen-band-x","provider":"Hansebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
