Summary: "Hermann: A Novel" by E. Werner is a fictional work likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the tumultuous lives of the various characters connected to Count Arnau and his household, particularly focusing on the events surrounding a shocking incident involving the Count's steward and its profound impact on the town and the household alike. The narrative explores themes of honor, societal expectations, and personal conflicts, particularly through the perspectives of key figures such as the Count, his wife Countess Ottilie, and the young boy Hermann. The opening of the novel sets a dramatic tone with a mysterious suicide and a missing sum of money that shakes the quiet town. The initial chapter introduces us to a group of officers reeling from startling news about the steward, who has died after admitting to his crimes. Meanwhile, the Countess is depicted as emotionally vulnerable, contrasting with her commanding mother, Präsidentin von Sternfeld, who is concerned with the implications of the scandal. The narrative subsequently shifts to reveal a young Hermann, whose innocent reactions to the unfolding events hint at deeper connections that will likely shape the story as it progresses. The introduction of themes of familial duty, social propriety, and the impact of personal choices on public perception promises to create an intricate web of relationships as the plot unfolds.
