More about the book

Exploring the tragic legacy of illegitimacy, the narrative centers on Ludwig Fischer, Hegel's illegitimate son, and Minna Herzlieb, a love of Goethe. Their intertwined stories unfold under the roof of Friedrich Frommann, revealing the philosophical conflict between Hegel's "absolute spirit" and Goethe's "spirit of the Earth." The novel poignantly illustrates the emotional turmoil faced by children of esteemed figures and critiques the harsh realities of their existence. Through its experimental style, it underscores the enduring impact of Hegel's philosophy.
