"The World's Illusion, Volume 1 (of 2): Eva" by Jakob Wassermann is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces the central character, Bernard Gervasius Crammon, an affluent and well-traveled man with ties to various affluent circles in Europe. The novel explores themes of connections, the nature of relationships, and the impact of artistic expression, particularly focusing on the dancer Eva Sorel, who captivates Crammon and ignites a complex emotional landscape around her allure. The opening of this novel presents a vivid depiction of Crammon's life and social engagements as he navigates the worlds of art, charm, and influence. Initially, we see him waiting for two elderly relatives with whom he shares a close bond, demonstrating his affection for family amidst his life of leisure. As the narrative unfolds, we learn about Crammon's adventures, his interactions with various friends and notable figures, and hints of deep loneliness that underlie his seemingly glamorous life. The intricate tapestry of his relationships, including his admiration for the enchanting Eva Sorel and his observations of the theatre and arts, sets the stage for a profound exploration of desire, beauty, and the illusions they create.
