Dietegen
'Dietegen' Summary
Dietegen, an 11-year-old orphan boy, unjustly accused of theft, faces execution in the puritanical town of Ruechenstein. Rescued by Küngolt, the 7-year-old daughter of the Seldwyler mayor, Dietegen finds refuge in her home. As they grow older, their bond deepens, but misunderstandings and the machinations of others threaten their budding romance. Throughout the tale, Gottfried Keller wittily explores human nature and the complexities of love, loyalty, and societal divisions amidst the backdrop of a vibrant and divided town.Book Details
