Caspar Hauser oder die Trägheit des Herzens

Caspar Hauser oder die Trägheit des Herzens

by Jakob Wassermann

Caspar Hauser ist ein rätselhafter Findling, der 1828 in Nürnberg auftaucht. Er ist jung, geistig zurückgeblieben und kann sich kaum artikulieren. Seine Geschichte, gefangen in einem dunklen Raum und von Wasser und Brot ernährt, fasziniert und erschüttert die Gesellschaft. Gerüchte über seine wahre Identität als Erbprinz von Baden, der durch einen Austausch und eine Verschwörung zur Seite geschafft wurde, verbreiten sich wie ein Lauffeuer. Kaspar Hauser wird zum Objekt der Neugier, der Spekulation und schließlich auch der Gefahr. Der Roman beleuchtet die Fragen der Identität, der Menschlichkeit in der Isolation und die Macht der Gesellschaft, die sich mit dem Rätsel Hauser konfrontiert sieht.
