QR code
"The Progressionists, and Angela" by Conrad von Bolanden is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative explores themes of politics, social class, and moral integrity through the interactions of its characters, particularly focusing on Seraphin Gerlach, an innocent and wealthy landholder navigating the complexities of societal corruption and personal relationships amid the backdrop of an upcoming election. The opening of the novel introduces Seraphin Gerlach, who is visiting the
Greifmann family, comprised of Carl, the ambitious banker, and his sister Louise, whose beauty captivates Seraphin. Their conversation reveals the cynical views of Carl regarding politics and elections, as he bets that Hans Shund, a disreputable usurer, will be elected as mayor, showcasing the absurdity and corruption of the electoral system. Meanwhile, Seraphin grapples with the moral implications of these discussions, drawing a clear distinction between himself and the deceitful principles of progress as presented by Carl. This sets the stage for a profound exploration of ethical dilemmas and societal expectations throughout the story. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
