About This Book

A small, respectable bank in Munich is run by two brothers whose modest office and household reveal routines of provincial life. The younger partner, Ernest Heine, maintains a homely family with a wife, two daughters and a son, while the elder brother oversees affairs at the office. The narrative sketches the city’s old and new quarters, outlines domestic arrangements and social manners, and contrasts the elder daughter Isa’s sober, dutiful temperament with more romantic notions found elsewhere, using these character portraits and settings to establish the story’s social framework.
