Omschrijving
Kainer, Or The Usurer�������s Doom: A German Tale is a novel written by James King and published in 1881. The book is set in Germany and tells the story of a wealthy usurer named Kainer who lends money to people at high interest rates. Kainer is despised by the townspeople for his greed and heartlessness, but he continues to prosper despite their disdain.However, Kainer's life takes a dramatic turn when he falls in love with a young woman named Gretchen. Gretchen is kind-hearted and virtuous, and Kainer is drawn to her purity. He decides to propose to her, but she rejects him, citing his cruel business practices and lack of compassion.Kainer is devastated by Gretchen's rejection and begins to question his own life choices. He realizes that his wealth has brought him no happiness and that he has been living a shallow existence. He decides to change his ways and become a better person, but it may be too late to win back Gretchen's love.The novel explores themes of love, greed, and redemption. It is a cautionary tale about the dangers of pursuing wealth at the expense of others and the importance of living a virtuous life. The book is written in a lyrical and poetic style, with vivid descriptions of the German countryside and its people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
