"Die Heiligen" by Bernhard Kellermann is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative explores themes of obsession, loneliness, and the human condition through the lives of its characters, particularly focusing on the experiences of a small advocate and the dynamics within a mental institution. The story features characters who grapple with their inner worlds and the impact of their delusions. The plot primarily revolves around the advocate who finds
solace in tending to flowers and feeding birds after the death of his wife. He becomes entangled with other patients, including Michael Petroff, a former soldier with grand illusions about his role in society, and Engelhardt, who believes he bears the weight of the universe. The interaction among these characters highlights their struggles with reality and delusion. As the story unfolds, it delves into the delicate balance between sanity and madness while confronting themes of mortality and human connection, ultimately leading to a poignant conclusion with the demise of the "Rajah," a figure representing the intertwining of power, alienation, and the search for redemption.
