Summary "Die Schaffnerin; Die Mächtigen: Novellen" by Jakob Wassermann is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The opening portion introduces the reader to the peaceful life on a rural estate owned by Generalleutnant von Bruneck, governed by the kind-hearted Amtmann Tarnow and his interactions with the estate’s various workers and inhabitants. As the stories unfold, themes of authority, compassion, and the struggles against oppression begin to surface through the characters’ lives. The opening of the novella "Die Schaffnerin" sets a tranquil scene on the estate, detailing the daily lives of its residents and the sudden illness and death of the Amtmann Bödensaß, which marks a turning point in the story. Soon after, Tarnow, the Wirtschaftsschreiber, reflects on the new authority brought by the arrival of the new Amtmann, Truchs, whose domineering personality contrasts sharply with the laid-back lifestyle that Tarnow and the others previously enjoyed. As Truchs begins to exert his influence, tensions arise, particularly regarding his treatment of the Schaffnerin, Fanny Leuthold, setting the stage for escalating conflicts and emotional turmoil among the characters.
