Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Withered Leaves: A Novel. Vol. 1 (of 3)" by Rudolf von Gottschall is a fictional narrative likely written in the late 19th century. The story is set against a backdrop of Baltic coast landscapes and revolves around a young woman named Eva, her family, and the interactions she has with a diverse cast of characters, including artists and intellectuals. The themes of youthful love, societal expectations, and personal growth pervade the narrative." "At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a moonlit setting on the Fuchs-spitze, where Eva struggles with her feelings amidst the beautiful yet tumultuous landscape. Her father, the Regierungsrath, and mother, the Regierungsräthin, embody contrasting perspectives on her emotional sensitivity, while Eva captures a fleeting affection for the aspiring poet Doctor Schöner. As the evening unfolds, interruptions from an artistic gathering challenge the family’s conservative sensibilities, further igniting Eva’s internal conflicts regarding love and identity. The opening sets a rich stage for the exploration of youthful emotions and social dynamics."
