Gottfried Keller was a Swiss poet and writer whose work stands as a pinnacle of bourgeois realism. His lyric poetry inspired numerous musical settings, and his novellas are considered masterpieces of German-language narrative art. Revered even during his lifetime, Keller's unique style and profound insights into human nature solidify his significance.
The story of young Henry, who struggles to fulfil his ambitions to become a successful painter and is torn between the gentle Anna and the proud and sensual Judith, is one of the most outstanding and personal Bildungsroman writ ten in the German language.
Set against the backdrop of the Swiss Reformation and the early Anabaptist movement, this love story unfolds between a Swiss soldier and a farmer's daughter. The narrative explores themes of love and conflict during a transformative period in Swiss history, showcasing Keller's mastery of style and deep understanding of human emotions. As part of the "Zurich Novellas," it reflects on the cultural and historical significance of Zurich, highlighting Keller's position as a leading figure in Swiss literature.
