| Summary | "O Thou, My Austria!" by Ossip Schubin is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in Bohemia and revolves around Major Paul von Leskjewitsch, who is a retired officer blending his agricultural endeavors with a complicated family life, including hopes, aspirations, and the emerging adulthood of his beloved niece, Zdena. The narrative intertwines themes of love, ambition, and the struggles of identity within the backdrop of the cultural and social fabric of Austria. At the start of the novel, the major’s playful banter with his servant and his musings on his niece's potential romantic inclinations introduce the reader to a lively household. The major discovers a manuscript belonging to Zdena that hints at her desires and reflections, revealing her struggles as she attempts to carve her identity amidst familial expectations and societal norms. Through her writings, Zdena’s voice becomes a focal point, capturing the inner tumult of youth and dreams, as well as her yearning for artistic expression, all the while hinting at deeper family dynamics and potential romances that are yet to unfold.
