| Summary | "Im grünen Tann" by Arthur Achleitner is a collection of novellas written during the late 19th century. The book explores the life and traditions of the people living in the Black Forest region of Germany, focusing particularly on their struggles, customs, and the tensions between old and new societal norms. The narrative introduces characters like Peter Gottstein, a stubborn innkeeper, and his family as they navigate issues of governance, tradition, and community in a rural setting. The opening of the work sets a vivid and atmospheric scene in the Black Forest, specifically around a desolate area known as the "tote Bühl." As autumn winds howl through the trees, we are introduced to the character of Peter Gottstein, who is preoccupied with legal grievances regarding a government mandate that threatens his way of life. The tension between tradition and progress is apparent as Peter’s daughter, Thrinele, tries to persuade him to adapt while he stubbornly clings to the past. The narrative mixes elements of social commentary with drama as it hints at broader conflicts within the community, including a secret gathering of local men that suggests underlying themes of resistance and rebellion against external authority. This initial glimpse into the lives of the Gottstein family and their neighbors sets the stage for a compelling exploration of resilience and identity in a changing world.
