The Undying Past
Produced by Charles Bowen, from page scans provided by the Web Archive
"The Undying Past" by Hermann Sudermann is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a provincial setting, centering on the lives of several characters, including a returning young aristocrat and the complex dynamics of family and societal expectations. The opening introduces us to the Baron von Kletzingk, his aristocratic wife, and their two sons, alongside themes of relationships, societal status, and the resurgence of unresolved tensions. At the start of the novel, we find ourselves in a bustling railway station, where the arrival of the Kletzingk family stirs a mix of anticipation and gossip among the locals. A sense of lethargy permeates the atmosphere as the barmaid and restaurant-manager worry about the lack of patrons, highlighting the provincial life. The family enters the scene to start their journey, revealing their personalities through conversation. The youngest son, Ulrich, a fragile and contemplative character, is contrasted against his more boisterous brother, Leo, setting the stage for exploration of their relationships and the coming confrontations tied to family lineage and social standing. As tensions boil beneath the surface, particularly concerning the brothers' interactions with a mysterious woman named Felicitas, the opening establishes an intricate web of emotional stakes for future developments.
