| Summary | "Der Kriegsfreiwillige" by Hedwig von Mühlenfels is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story appears to revolve around the character Maria, who navigates her emotional turmoil as her son prepares to enlist as a soldier amidst the backdrop of World War I. The opening portion captures her interactions with her grandmother and grandfather, providing insight into their relationships and the effect of impending war on their domestic life. At the start of the narrative, Maria arrives at her grandmother's home after a long journey, feeling exhausted and anxious about her son’s enlistment. The scene is intimate, layered with familial affection, and tinged with the grandmother's concerns about the war's consequences. Amidst conversations about the young boy’s future and the societal expectations of women, Maria's internal conflict grows as she grapples with her fears for her son and the emotional burden of letting him go. The grandmother articulates the anguish that war brings to their lives, framing the generational differences of coping with the impending crisis, setting the tone for a story filled with personal sacrifice and the complexities of maternal love in times of conflict.
