| Summary | "The Young Carpenters of Freiberg" by Anonymous is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set during the tumultuous period of the Thirty Years' War, focusing on the lives of ordinary people in the city of Freiberg, particularly that of Conrad Schmidt, a young carpenter's apprentice. The narrative reveals the struggles and resilience of the townsfolk against the backdrop of war, highlighting themes of bravery and the impacts of conflict on civilian life. The opening of the book introduces the reader to Freiberg and its dire situation amidst the siege by the Swedish army. Young Conrad is tasked with delivering a child's coffin to a local mill after a tragic incident involving soldiers and the miller's son. As he navigates the dangers of the road, he recounts the brutal realities of life during wartime, including the threat posed by soldiers to innocent townspeople. Alongside the day-to-day struggles, Conrad's interactions with various characters, like the brave miller's wife and his own family, set the stage for a compelling exploration of courage and human spirit during a harrowing period in history.
