Novellenbuch, 2. Band: Dorfgeschichten by Wichert, Greinz, Polenz, and Sohnrey
"Novellenbuch, 2. Band: Dorfgeschichten" by Ernst Wichert, Heinrich Sohnrey, Wilhelm von Polenz, and Rudolf Greinz is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. This anthology focuses on village life, exploring the complexities of relationships, tradition, and the struggles faced by individuals within tight-knit communities. The first tale, "Ewe," introduces the village of Naujokat-Peter-Purwins and its characters, hinting at themes of rivalry, love, and societal expectations. The opening of
"Ewe" sets the stage in the picturesque yet conflict-ridden village, where the dynamics between the Naujok and Purwins families unfold. Ewe Purwins, a lively young woman, is depicted as carefree and strong-willed, contrasting with the widow, Urte Naujokene, who embodies responsibility and traditional values. The narrative hints at budding romantic tensions as Ewe encounters Mikelis, a young man returning from military service, creating a backdrop rich in potential for conflict and emotional turmoil. As past rivalries and personal ambitions collide, the lives of these characters are portrayed with depth and vividness, suggesting a story that plays out the themes of desire, obligation, and the quest for autonomy within the constraints of societal norms.
