Summary "Der Fremde: Ein Gleichniss" by Hans von Kahlenberg is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story provides a reflection on the human condition, particularly focusing on the struggles of the poor, set against the backdrop of a bleak Christmas Eve. The narrative centers around two handworkers, Richard and Fritz, as they journey toward Berlin in search of work and a better life, embodying themes of hope and despair amidst their challenging circumstances. At the start of the novel, the setting conveys a somber atmosphere characterized by dreary weather and a desolate landscape, reflecting the internal turmoil of the characters. As Richard and Fritz make their way along a muddy road, they converse about their fears and hopes for the future, with Richard naïvely optimistic and Fritz more cynical due to his life's harsh experiences. Their journey takes a poignant turn when they encounter a mysterious stranger who engages with them, offering comfort and a sense of humanity amidst their despair. The scene highlights the stark contrasts between innocence and experience, warmth and cold, and the burden of poverty that envelops the characters' lives, setting the tone for the unfolding moral allegory.
