Summary "Slægten" by Gustav Wied is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book revolves around the complex dynamics of the v. Leunbach family, particularly focusing on Baron Helmuth Hieronimus v. Leunbach, who is navigating familial expectations and societal changes. Themes of legacy, love, and the clash between old and new ways of life are likely explored throughout the narrative. The opening of "Slægten" sets the stage for the baronial family's decline, detailing the establishment of Baroniet Næsset and the somber realization that the family's wealth has dwindled. Readers meet Helmuth's parents, the elderly Baron and Baroness, who grapple with their legacy while Helmuth prepares to inherit the remaining estate. The arrival of his newlywed wife, Alvilda, brings both excitement and tension, as Helmuth adapts to his multifaceted roles while their evolving household unfolds, interweaving relationships with other family members. The narrative hints at upcoming social interactions, indicated partly by the preparations for this new chapter in their lives. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
