Summary "Atlantis" by Gerhart Hauptmann is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work unfolds the journey of Frederick von Kammacher, a physician whose life is filled with turmoil and regret as he embarks on a steamer bound for America. As he grapples with his troubled past, including the deteriorating state of his marriage and the looming death of a close friend, the story examines themes of passion, loss, and the quest for new beginnings. At the start of the novel, we meet Frederick on the German fast mail steamer, "Roland". In a flurry of activity sparked by a telegram, he manages to board the ship for his transatlantic journey filled with unease and introspection. As he waits for the ship at the port, he reflects on a heart-wrenching letter from his dying friend, George, while contemplating his own failures and obsessions. The arrival on the ship marks the beginning of his emotional turmoil, as he encounters people from his past and an unnamed passion that complicates his journey, particularly revolving around a talented young dancer, Ingigerd Hahlström. As Frederick navigates his feelings and the complexities of the relationships forming around him, the voyage transforms into a poignant exploration of human desires and the consequences of one's choices.
