Description
Bei einem furchtbaren Brand haben Modei und ihr Bruder Lenz ihre Eltern verloren. Zur ckgezogen leben sie als Senner auf der Grottenalm. In seiner Unerfahrenheit wird das elternlose M dchen von einem ber chtigten Wildsch tzen verf hrt und erwartet ein Kind. Friedl, der k nigliche Jagdgehilfe, verliebt sich in die h bsche und t chtige Sennerin und m chte sie trotz des unehelichen Kindes heiraten. Doch die Schande steht zwischen ihnen. Wie aus Friedl und Modei, trotz tragischer Zwischenf lle, show more doch noch ein gl ckliches Paar wird, hat Ganghofer im J ger von Fall in ergreifender Weise erz hlt. Im Brennpunkt des Romans stehen die Konflikte der b uerlichen Seele: Ehre, Schande, Liebe, Wahnsinn und Tod. Die Leidenschaftlichkeit treibt die Figuren aus ihrer Eindimensionalit t heraus und macht aus dem J ger von Fall einen ebenso vielschichtigen wie packenden Heimatroman. Noch vor Erscheinen wurde das Buch 1883 zensiert. Zu anst ig wirkte der Konflikt um das uneheliche Kind. Der sp tere, ungeheure Erfolg des Buches, zeigt jedoch, dass die Toleranz der Zeitgenossen Ganghofers untersch tzt wurde. Der J ger von Fall, ein Fr hwerk Ganghofers, in dem der Einfluss des zeitgen ssischen Realismus noch sp rbar ist, z hlt zu den erfolgreichsten Romanen des Heimatdichters und wurde mehrmals verfilmt. Mit dieser Ausgabe liegt er nun erstmals seit langem wieder zum Nachlesen vor. show lessTags

Der Jäger von Fall (1883) is a homeland novel by the German author Ludwig Ganghofer.
The novel opens with the dramatic fire on the farmstead which leaves Lenz, Maria's brother, and orphan, and a simpleton. Maria, or Modei, is betrothed to the hunter of Fall, Friedl, but as the hunter does not return for two years, she has a child with a local poacher, called Toni. Upon his return, Friedl discovers that Toni is the illegal poacher, and must arrest him. However, in an attempt to arrest Toni, Toni's brother Blasi is accidentally killed, but Toni blames friedl and seeks revenge. On his way to the village, Toni encounters Lenz, and in a fight between them, Lenz kills Toni.
Der Jäger von Fall was a very difficult read, because it is written show more in German Bavarian dialect. Careful reading makes it possible to understand the language, but the story did not really interest me, and I could not really follow the details of the story line. The opening chapter, describing the fire was impressive, and some of the hunting scenes, including the chase of the poachers by hunter were impressive, and evoked some of the mountainous highlands. However, the action seemed unnecessarily slow. show less
