Produced by David Widger "In the Fire of the Forge: A Romance of Old Nuremberg" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the medieval city of Nuremberg during the year 1281, and unfolds around the lives of young lovers, Wolff Eysvogel and Els Ortlieb, whose romance faces various challenges in a backdrop of socio-political turmoil and personal ambitions. The narrative promises to explore themes of love, duty, and the conflicts between personal desires and societal expectations. At the start of the tale, the moonlit city is depicted as quiet, with the revelry of the Emperor's court contrasting the intimate moments between Wolff and Els. Wolff, the ambitious son of a merchant family, is burdened by the demands of trade while yearning for his bride, Els, who expresses her jealousy over his dedication to business. This initial encounter establishes their deep affection and hints at future tensions. As they discuss Wolff's imminent business dealings that could jeopardize their plans, we learn of Els's sister, Eva, who is urged to join the festivities but is more inclined toward a pious life. Their interactions showcase the romance and emotional stakes, setting the stage for a larger narrative woven with the intricacies of love and duty amidst an enchanted historical setting.
