Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Dame Care" by Hermann Sudermann is a novel published in 1887. This tale of East Prussian peasant life follows a boy whose godmother becomes Dame Care herself—a figure who promises he'll never starve if his soul, youth, and hope are given as hostage. The grim story weaves legend with reality as the protagonist battles against nature's forces, until a woman's love threatens to break the dark charm binding his fate.
