| Summary |
"Der niegeküßte Mund: Drei Erzählungen" by Jakob Wassermann is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The narratives explore themes of love, desire, and societal conventions through various characters, notably the subdued and introspective teacher Philipp Unruh. The book delves into the emotional landscapes of its characters, revealing the tensions between personal aspirations and the constraints imposed by their environments. The opening of the first story introduces the small, idyllic town where Philipp Unruh works as a schoolteacher. He is depicted as a quiet and contemplative figure, more engaged in the historical narratives contained in his books than the mundane realities of his surroundings. Unruh grapples with his thoughts on love and the past, contrasting the vibrant life he reads about with his own lackluster existence. The arrival of a new character, the flamboyant Provisor Apollonius Siebengeist, hints at impending changes and challenges for Unruh, especially as he becomes entangled in social dynamics and his unexpressed feelings as the story unfolds.
