| Summary |
"Die große Stille: Roman" by Heinrich Lilienfein is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in a domestic context, the narrative introduces a family dynamic centered around the three daughters of Geheimrat Richthoff, with characters such as the lively Elli, the responsible Käthe, and the blind yet perceptive Marga. The plot seems to explore themes of youth, the complexities of familial relationships, and the budding experiences of love. The opening of the novel immerses the reader in a vibrant household atmosphere, where the sisters eagerly await the arrival of new students for their father's lectures. The interactions among the sisters reveal their distinct personalities: Elli's impulsiveness, Käthe's maturity, and Marga's introspective nature. As they speculate about a particularly interesting newcomer, feelings of excitement and rivalry emerge, particularly with reference to Marga's more solitary existence due to her blindness. This intimate exploration sets the stage for an engaging family narrative intertwined with themes of hope, longing, and the challenges of social integration experienced by Marga.
