"The Northern Light" by E. Werner is a dramatic novel written in the late 19th century. The story delves into themes of personal conflict, familial obligation, and the shadows of past relationships, centering around Major Falkenried and his son Hartmut, who is caught between loyalty to his father and a newly discovered connection to his mother, Zalika. At the start of the narrative, we encounter the somber atmosphere of an autumn morning, as Major Falkenried and his friend Wallmoden engage in a deep conversation about Hartmut's upbringing. Falkenried, who is haunted by his past marriage to Zalika, expresses his stringent views on discipline and his concerns about their son’s character. This complex dynamic escalates with the arrival of Zalika, who wishes to reconnect with her son after years of separation, prompting a confrontation that reveals the emotional turmoil each character faces. As the story unfolds through various interactions, tensions between duty and affection, freedom and constraint, begin to surface, laying the groundwork for the conflicts that are sure to develop.
