Translation of: Soll und Haben Produced by Barbara Tozier, Graeme Mackreth, Bill Tozier and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Debit and Credit" by Gustav Freytag is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around Anton Wohlfart, a young boy from a modest background who aspires to become a successful merchant in the bustling city, following the guidance of his late father, an accountant. The narrative delves into themes of social class, the nobility of labor, and the complexities of merchant life, weaving a rich tapestry of character interactions and societal observations. The opening portion of the novel introduces us to Anton's childhood in Ostrau, where he grows under the care of his devoted parents until tragedy strikes with both parents' deaths. Following their passing, Anton embarks on a journey to the capital city, motivated by the dream of a brighter future as a merchant. He navigates the unfamiliar urban landscape, where he encounters diverse characters in the bustling merchant world. Highlights include his initial meetings at a trading firm that offer glimpses into the dynamics of commerce, as well as a chance encounter with an affluent baron’s family that highlights social stratifications. Freytag’s richly descriptive prose immerses readers in Anton's blend of innocence, ambition, and the poignant awakening to the challenges of adult life.
