| Summary | "Wallenstein. 2 (of 2)" by Alfred Döblin is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the intricate political and military struggles during the Thirty Years' War, particularly focusing on the titular character, Wallenstein, a controversial military leader. The narrative likely explores themes of power, faith, and human nature amidst the backdrop of war, highlighting the complexities of loyalty and ambition. The opening of this volume sets a dramatic tone, beginning with a vivid description of a winter scene in Munich, where a Jesuit priest delivers a fervent sermon about the nature of God, embodying deep theological and existential dilemmas. The priest's intense rhetoric prompts reflections on the human condition, mortality, and the often harsh realities of life. As the narrative progresses, we also encounter characters such as a soldier seeking solace and guidance from the priest, revealing personal conflicts that intertwine with the broader themes of war, faith, and survival. This powerful and thought-provoking beginning establishes a foundational exploration of the characters’ struggles and the larger historical context within which they operate.
