Summary: "Aus dem Durchschnitt" by Gustav Falke is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in Hamburg, exploring the lives of various characters through their everyday experiences, emotions, and interactions against a backdrop of societal norms and personal aspirations. The narrative introduces us to Caroline Wittfoth, a widow and proprietor of a small shop, along with her niece Therese and her acquaintance Mimi, establishing a vibrant and complex world centered around their personal tribulations and triumphs. At the start of the novel, we are presented with a vivid scene set on a March evening following a frost night in Hamburg. A tragic incident involving a fallen horse on the cobbled street draws a crowd, setting the stage for a medley of human emotions, from curiosity to indifference to schadenfreude. Caroline Wittfoth, the shop owner, is depicted managing the struggles of her business while reflecting on her late husband's legacy and her current life. The narrative then delves into her relationships with her employees, including the timid and diligent Therese, and the lively Mimi, sketching a slice-of-life portrait of their daily challenges, hopes for romance, and the societal pressures they face in a changing world.
