About this book
In the late 19th century, Berlin's Latin Quarter thrived as a cultural hub, yet it concealed the struggles of its working-class citizens. "The Children of the World" by Paul Heyse intricately weaves the tale of Gottfried Feyertag, a humble shoemaker, and his two sons, Edwin and Balder, navigating the complexities of family and aspiration. This poignant narrative explores themes of sacrifice and ambition against the backdrop of societal constraints. With vivid characterizations and a deep sense of place, Heyse captures the essence of familial bonds and the pursuit of dreams. Ideal for students and historians alike, this novel serves as a compelling lens into the human condition and the enduring quest for a better life.
