Hi all,
since I've had fun doing the last book I have started another (very famous) one.
Der Schimmelreiter ( http://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Der_Schimmelreiter )
von Theodor Storm
English title: The Dykemaster
There even are english fansites: http://www.theodorstorm.co.uk/
I am right now halfway through the 150 pages of that novel and hope to have it finished by mid-march.
Synopsis:
So the synopsis is written by myself, however I hope to overhaul it before I have finished that book.One of the most famous german novels, "Der Schimmelreiter" skillfully tells the story of Hauke Haien who rises from being a farmers son to the post of the Dykemaster in his hometown. He is, however, confronted with hatred and superstition, which in turn drives him into a very egocentric man who finds his death in spring flood along with his family. From that day on, whenever there is a spring flood, he roams as a ghost on his mildew and thus indicates the breach of a dyke.
The novel is organized in three narrative threads, the original author who relates a story he read in the newspaper. That newspaper article in turn is told by a traveller who visited Hauke Haiens hometown during a surge. He stays at the inn in this place where he is related the tale by the old schoolmaster, who himself never had known Hauke...
Read you all, Felix
