Scope and content

Essay on the novel Christian Wahnschaffe by Jakob Wasserman. Zuckerkandl summarizes the qualities of the main character, Christian, and his search to understand social injustice by understanding and experiencing the suffering of the oppressed. Presents portraits of several secondary characters, the abstract ideals that they represent, and the roles that they play in Christian's journey. Zuckerkandl concludes that the novel is advocating for a new world order, as the current model is unsustainable; the solution is not in a single formula such as communism, but instead presents the character Ruth as the ideal for humanity. Minor edits in pen correcting typos.
