| Summary | "Hüben und Drüben; Zweiter Band (2/3)" by Friedrich Gerstäcker is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story focuses on the German immigrant community in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, particularly exploring the life of Dr. Peters, a somewhat melancholy character, who seems to have a deep connection with the local widow, Frau Reuter. The work promises a blend of cultural observations and personal interactions within the context of German-Americans assimilating to American life, punctuated by themes of love, superstition, and community dynamics. The opening of the novel introduces the bustling city of Pittsburgh, highlighting its industrial growth and the predominance of German immigrants who create their own social circles despite the challenges of adapting to a new culture. Dr. Peters, a well-known yet unsuccessful doctor in town, is a regular at the local tavern run by the widow Reuter, where he finds solace among friends. However, as the narrative unfolds, it becomes clear that Peters harbors a secret: he is in love with Frau Reuter but is held back by his superstitious beliefs. His friends begin to wonder about his reluctance to propose, leading to a blend of humor and drama as they navigate his inner turmoil and the complexities of love and fate.
