Project Gutenberg 2012-07-24 Public domain in the USA. 72 Holland, Alfred Die Brücke Produced by Jens Sadowski "Die Brücke" by Alfred Holland is a philosophical prose piece written in the early 20th century. This book explores the fundamental human experience of suffering and the pursuit of alleviating it through an allegorical narrative. The author delves into themes of hope, sacrifice, and the weight of existence, presenting a thought-provoking commentary on the struggles of life. The narrative features a bridge that symbolizes the path from unfulfilled desires to the pain of their realization. As figures journey across this bridge, they carry the burdens of their lives while children and elders sit by its pillars, contemplating the depths of the river of existence. A mysterious man in white approaches them, questioning their efforts to dam the river of suffering rather than assisting those who are burdened. Despite their initial resistance and mockery, the man inspires some to share the weight of life's struggles. The story ends on a poignant note, highlighting the cyclical nature of human suffering and the enduring hope for relief, even amidst the relentless flow of time and circumstance.
