Publisher's Synopsis
Duty and Affection: A Tale is a novel written by Gustav Moritz in 1850. The story revolves around the life of a young man named Karl, who is torn between his sense of duty and his affection for a woman named Charlotte. Karl is an officer in the Prussian army and is deeply committed to his duty, but when he meets Charlotte, he falls deeply in love with her. Charlotte, however, is engaged to another man, and Karl must decide whether to pursue his feelings for her or to honor his duty to the army. The novel explores themes of love, duty, honor, and the conflicts that arise when they are at odds with each other. It is a classic tale of the struggle between the heart and the head, and the difficult choices that must be made when they are in conflict. Moritz's writing is engaging and insightful, and his characters are well-developed and relatable. Duty and Affection: A Tale is a timeless novel that will resonate with readers today as much as it did when it was first published over 150 years ago.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
