Summary "As It Was Written: A Jewish Musician's Story" by Henry Harland is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the protagonist, Ernest Neuman, a Jewish musician who becomes enamored with a beautiful and melancholic woman named Veronika Pathzuol. Their budding relationship is marred by tragedy, as the narrative hints at Veronika’s murder, leading Neuman to navigate the despair and turmoil of love, loss, and the search for truth amidst suspicion. The opening portion of the novel introduces us to Neuman's solitary life as a music teacher, filled with a sense of longing and an ineffable thirst for connection, which culminates in his encounter with Veronika during a moonlit night. Through their meeting, romantic tension begins to blossom as they bond over music, revealing Neuman's deep feelings for her. Their growing intimacy is contrasted with the stark reality of Neuman’s impending personal tragedy, setting a tone of impending doom. In a poignant narrative, the tenderness and complexity of their relationship unfolds, foreshadowing the heartache that will follow and establishing the emotional stakes that propel the story forward.
