| Summary |
"Die Mutter: Blätter aus dunklen Tagen" by Gutti Alsen is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative explores themes of political upheaval, generational conflict, and the personal struggles of a mother amidst the backdrop of social change and revolution in post-war Germany. The central character is a mother who reflects on her relationship with her sons and the challenges they face in an evolving world. The beginning of the novel sets a somber tone as it takes place on the night of November 9-10, 1918, marking the end of World War I and the onset of the German Revolution. The protagonist is deeply affected by the chaos and violence surrounding her, witnessing the fall of old societal structures and the emergence of a new era. Her observations include the fervor of youth celebrating the revolution, contrasting with her own feelings of fear and helplessness. As her sons engage fervently with revolutionary ideas, she grapples with her understanding of their youthful enthusiasm and her own nostalgia for a more stable past, foreshadowing the tensions that will develop between them.
