Daniela by Bertha von Suttner
"Daniela" by Bertha von Suttner is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces the main character, Franz Stern, a former wealthy banker turned struggling professor, as he seeks a summer rental in Baden for him and his disabled son, Alfred. The narrative intricately explores themes of love, family, social class, and the struggles of a father caring for his son while navigating a new life after losing his
fortune. The opening of the novel sets the stage as Franz Stern looks for a summer apartment and reflects on the beauty of the surrounding nature, hinting at the healing environment's potential for his son. It also establishes the close bond they share through their conversations filled with affection and philosophical musings about life, health, and social inequalities. As they transition to their summer home, the narrative foreshadows the connections and challenges they will face, particularly when they become acquainted with their intriguing and wealthy neighbor, Daniela, a widow navigating her own emotional landscape. The groundwork is laid for an exploration of the intersecting lives of these characters against a backdrop of societal expectations and personal desires. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
