Summary: "When Thoughts Will Soar: A Romance of the Immediate Future" by Baroness Bertha von Suttner is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Franka Garlett, a young woman who grapples with loss and the complexities of her uncertain future following the death of her father. As she navigates her new life among strangers, she confronts societal expectations, the pursuit of love, and her inherited legacy. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Mr. John A. Toker, an affluent American contemplating a grand plan sparked by developments in aeronautics and the implications of technology on society, which foreshadows key themes of the book. Following this, we meet Franka, who mourns the untimely death of her father, a professor, and struggles with loneliness in their modest home. Her past is steeped in academic pursuits and deep emotional bonds, but the realization of her plight prompts her search for work to sustain herself. The narrative then depicts her encounters with various individuals, including Baron Ludwig Malhof, whose unsettling intentions lead Franka to assert her independence and morals amid an array of societal challenges. This sets the stage for Franka's journey towards self-identity, resistance against oppressive norms, and her quest for love and belonging amidst the changing world around her.
