Gerhart Hauptmann
A novel written in the early 20th century. The book appears to delve into themes of isolation, beliefs, and the clash between the natural world and societal expectations. It primarily centers around Ludovico, a mountain shepherd viewed with suspicion as the portrayed as both eccentric and wise, engaging in meaningful conversations about animal husbandry and life itself, while there are undercurrents of superstition and prejudice from the townsfolk that surrounds him. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of faith and societal norms as the plot progresses.
