On the Heights: A Novel by Berthold Auerbach

"On the Heights: A Novel" by Berthold Auerbach is a novel published in 1865. It follows a king whose powerful individualism clashes with constitutional restraints and personal loyalty.

Through parallel stories of court and peasant life, the novel explores the tension between individual nature and social order during Germany's constitutional conflicts.
