Summary "Wallenstein. 1 (of 2)" by Alfred Döblin is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the life and politics surrounding the historical figure Albrecht von Wallenstein, a key figure in the Thirty Years' War, exploring themes of power, betrayal, and the complexities of war. The narrative unfolds amid the luxurious but treacherous court of the Holy Roman Empire, prominently featuring characters such as Emperor Ferdinand and his courtiers. At the start of "Wallenstein," readers are introduced to the celebratory atmosphere following the defeat of the Bohemians, which brings joy to Emperor Ferdinand. The opening vividly depicts a grand banquet where the emperor indulges in the pleasures of food and drink while surrounded by nobles and their discussions of the political climate. As the scene unfolds, Ferdinand's longing for power and control is palpable, hinting at the upcoming tensions within the court and the emperor’s mindset as he grapples with the political landscape and personal relationships that will inevitably lead to conflict. The narrative introduces themes of loyalty and deceit, setting the stage for a complex exploration of Wallenstein’s character and the historical intricacies of the time.
