| Summary |
"Yester und Li: Die Geschichte einer Sehnsucht" by Bernhard Kellermann is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Ginstermann, a reclusive artist who grapples with his emotional turmoil and artistic aspirations, set against the backdrop of his encounters with two young women, Fräulein Schuhmacher and Fräulein Scholl, which profoundly affect his personal journey. The book appears to explore themes of yearning, artistic struggle, and the complexities of human connection. The opening of the novel introduces us to Ginstermann as he returns home late at night, enveloped in a sense of confusion and questioning his own identity. He reflects on a recent encounter with two women after an evening gathering at a sculptor's celebration, which stirs feelings he has long suppressed. The atmosphere is rife with introspection as Ginstermann becomes acutely aware of his solitude and the stirring emotions evoked by Fräulein Schuhmacher, connecting his art and personal demons. As he walks the streets with the women, his inner thoughts reveal a man on the brink of self-discovery while being haunted by an undeniable yearning for connection, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of his psychological landscape as the story unfolds.
