Translated by Mary J. (Mary Joanna) Safford
A historical novel likely written during the late 19th century. The story takes place amidst the Siege of Leyden during the Eighty Years' War, centering on the lives of the townsfolk as they endure extreme famine, plague, and the looming threat of Spanish forces. Key characters include Burgomaster Peter Van der Werff, his wife Maria, and Junker Georg von Dornburg, among others, as their fates intertwine in a struggle for survival and loyalty amidst dire circumstances. The opening of the novel sets a grim scene in Leyden, where the citizens are suffering from hunger and disease as they are besieged by Spanish troops. Junker Georg interacts with the townsfolk, particularly focusing on a widow, Barbara, and her difficulties in providing for her family amidst the famine. The narrative quickly establishes the atmosphere of despair, with families torn apart by loss and illness. The Burgomaster is portrayed as a burdened leader facing the overwhelming responsibility for his suffering people. Through a mix of poignant dialogue and vivid descriptions, Ebers highlights the emotional and physical toll of war on the community, setting the stage for the unfolding drama of sacrifice, love, and resilience against oppression.
