Debit and Credit by Gustav Freytag

"Debit and Credit" by Gustav Freytag is a novel published in 1855. After his father's death, young Anton Wohlfart begins an apprenticeship at a merchant's office in Breslau, where he rises through honest work. His journey brings him into contact with three contrasting worlds: the virtuous bourgeois merchants, the declining nobility struggling with financial ruin, and Jewish moneylenders and speculators. Through these encounters, Anton develops his worldview in this widely-read social novel of nineteenth-century Germany. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
