Hüben und Drüben; Zweiter Band (2/3) / Neue gesammelte Erzählungen

A collection of short narratives alternating between scenes of German-speaking communities abroad and life in small German towns, offering vignettes of emigrant social clubs, tavern life in an industrial city, and village harvest festivities by the Rhine. The tales sketch a range of characters—innkeepers, professionals, laborers and transient visitors—whose interactions and routines expose cultural contrasts, habits, and local customs. Settings move from bustling factory towns with boardinghouses and beer-houses to quieter countryside gatherings, while the prose highlights manners, communal bonds, and the everyday dignity of ordinary people.
