Set in the Bern region after 1834, the story follows Uli, a farmer grappling with the harsh realities of human nature while also finding support in his community. After marrying Vreneli, he takes on the challenging lease of Glungge, where family dynamics and financial struggles create tension. Uli's conflicting views on household management with Vreneli highlight their relationship, as he prioritizes saving money over compassion. Through vivid prose, Jeremias Gotthelf captures the complexities of 19th-century rural life, intertwining Christian and humanistic themes.
