"Die Verdorrten" by Ernst Weiss is a novel written during the early 20th century. It explores the complexities of love, identity, and existential despair within the context of a romantic relationship. The narrative delves into the lives of the protagonists, Edgar and Esther, tracing their emotional trajectories and struggles as they navigate the challenges posed by their relationship, societal expectations, and their individual desires. The story follows Edgar and Esther as they transition from a long-standing friendship to a tumultuous love affair, filled with passion yet marked by disillusionment. Edgar's intense yearning for freedom clashes with his desire for connection, leading to a deep internal conflict that drives the narrative. As the couple grapples with the realities of their lives, including financial difficulties and the implications of an unintended pregnancy, their relationship undergoes profound changes. Ultimately, they find themselves trapped in a cycle of unfulfilled longing and alienation, facing the stark truth of their lives together as they experience the fading of their love and a growing disconnection from each other. The novel poignantly depicts the theme of "withering" love, illustrated by the emotional barrenness that ultimately takes hold of their shared existence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
