| Summary |
"Das Glück ist immer da! Heitere Geschichten und Plaudereien" by Otto Ernst Schmidt is a collection of light-hearted stories and banter likely written in the late 19th century. The work appears to reflect on everyday life, focusing on the travails and humorous situations faced by its characters, perhaps with an emphasis on societal norms and personal endeavors. The opening portion features the protagonist, Eduard, who is evidently struggling with weight and the expectations placed upon him by friends and society. Provoked by their teasing, he decides to embark on a weight loss journey to Marienbad for a cure. The narrative quickly turns comedic, as Eduard humorously details his arrival, his initial indulgences at a lavish dinner, and his subsequent experiences with the strict regimen he is supposed to follow, all while resisting the temptations that surround him. The beginning sets a playful tone, highlighting Eduard's ironic inner dialogue about the challenges of losing weight in a setting filled with culinary delights and social distractions.
