| Summary | "The Son of His Mother" by Clara Viebig is a fictional work written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around the couple Paul and Käte Schlieben, who are struggling with the emotional pain of being childless. The narrative explores themes of longing, parental love, and the contrast between artistic ambition and personal fulfillment. The opening of the novel introduces Paul and Käte, a couple deeply entwined in their creative pursuits yet haunted by their inability to have children. Paul, a businessman, and Käte, a painter, embark on a journey to escape their melancholy through travel, hoping to reinvigorate their spirits. Despite beautiful landscapes and artistic endeavors, their longing for a child remains unfulfilled. They encounter a moment of fleeting joy when Käte paints children in a meadow, yet the sadness of their reality soon reclaims them. The emotional intensity of their yearning sets the stage for a pivotal moment when they resolve to adopt a child they found in a desolate area, which introduces a complex moral dilemma wrapped in the hope of parenthood.
