Set against a backdrop of a mountain village, a young man embarks on a leisure trip, reconnecting with his former classmate, Prudens, now a pastor. As he explores the area, he learns about a quarantine facility for typhus patients and the tragic death of Anna Fuchs, whose husband refuses a Christian burial for her. This reflects the tensions between societal norms and personal beliefs. Wilhelm Raabe, a notable figure in poetic realism, weaves themes of social critique and human experience throughout the narrative.
