| Summary | "Fledermäuse: Sieben Geschichten" by Gustav Meyrink is a collection of stories written in the early 20th century. The work explores themes of existential dread and the supernatural, delving into the human psyche through various enigmatic narratives. The first story introduces Meister Leonhard, a character whose unsettling childhood is marked by a domineering mother and eerily chaotic domestic life. The opening of the book presents Meister Leonhard as he reflects on his life while seated in a Gothic chair, staring out at the snowy landscape. This introspective moment reveals his deep anxieties about his past, particularly concerning his oppressive upbringing and his fraught relationship with his mother, whose erratic behavior haunts him. As winter elements invade the scene, images of shadows, madness, and despair intertwine, setting the tone for a narrative that oscillates between memories and the bleak present. Leonhard's inner turmoil and longing for peace are palpable as he navigates the torment and chaos surrounding him, offering readers a glimpse into the psychological intricacies that will likely pervade the subsequent stories.
