"Kreuz und Quer, Erster Band" by Friedrich Gerstäcker is a collection of narratives written in the late 19th century. The book seems to explore themes such as love, jealousy, and the struggles of an artist, focusing particularly on the character Ernst Trautenau, a young painter who grapples with his emotions for Clemence, the daughter of a wealthy ...
a grotesque figure on his studio wall, later revealed to be a caricatured portrait of the Major von Reuhenfels, the man who has become engaged to Clemence. The opening introduces a conversation between Ernst and his friend Frank, discussing Ernst's feelings of animosity toward the Major and his unrequited love for Clemence. As the story unfolds, Ernst recalls a prior encounter with Clemence that has left a profound impact on him. Despite his passion, Ernst resigns himself to the reality that his love is hopeless, and the weight of this unfulfilled longing lingers heavily in his heart.
