Summary "Der Wendekreis - Erste Folge: Novellen" by Jakob Wassermann is a collection of novellas written in the early 20th century. The opening novella, titled "Der unbekannte Gast," introduces the character Mörner, a middle-aged writer who grapples with a profound sense of loss and mental disorder that seems to have robbed him of his creative spark. As he engages in deep and philosophical conversations with his friends, it becomes clear that Mörner is wrestling with not only his personal demons but also larger existential questions about the purpose of his existence and artistic mission. The opening of "Der unbekannte Gast" explores Mörner's psychological turmoil as he attempts to articulate the changes he feels within himself, describing it as a loss akin to death. His friends fail to understand the depth of his crisis, dismissing his struggles as mere hypochondria. As Mörner isolates himself, he encounters an enigmatic stranger, whose presence seems to both intrigue and unsettle him. This stranger engages Mörner in thought-provoking dialogue that hints at a shared yearning for meaning amidst the chaos of modern life, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of art, identity, and the human condition throughout the rest of the novella.
