Synopsis

This book is a riveting exposition on Minna and Major von Tellheim, whose lives, thrown into disarray by war, find themselves reunited in an inn. A tale of debts, pending duels, mistaken identities, and unyielding love, it presents a multi-faceted look at the human condition, and particularly the place of duty and honor within a world reshaped by conflict. Perfectly placed within the chaotic panorama of 18th-century Prussia, the author expertly uses Tellheim's plight to explore the complexities of nobility, loyalty, and the subtle yet powerful prejudices of social class. Its riveting plot, and in-depth character study make this an essential read for any enthusiast of the human drama.
