About This Book
The narrative focuses on the lives of two brothers and their circle, portraying how ambition, duty, and personal longing are strained by modern urban life. It follows Georg Weidenbach’s convalescence and tentative return to the city, his anxious search for Christine, and vivid department-store tableaux that contrast abundance and emotional emptiness. Interwoven episodes examine family bonds, shifting social hierarchies, and the psychological toll of recovery, desire, and economic change.
