Summary "Clear the Track!" by E. Werner is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds primarily around the festive setting of Nice during a floral celebration, introducing readers to a cast of characters intertwined with themes of love, social standing, and ambition, particularly focusing on the romantic pursuits of Eric Dernburg and his interest in Cecilia von Wildenrod. The opening of the story paints a vivid picture of a vibrant spring day in Nice, immersing readers in the celebratory atmosphere of the flower festival, where people from various walks of life gather in excitement. It introduces several key characters, including Eric Dernburg, who is enamored with the beautiful Cecilia, and her brother, Oscar von Wildenrod, who carries a mysterious past. Tensions arise as Eric faces competition for Cecilia's affections while navigating his father's expectations of him at the Odensburg iron and steel works. The interactions foreshadow complex relationships and conflicts, hinting at deeper societal struggles and personal ambitions that will unfold throughout the narrative.
