| Summary |
"Die mehreren Wehmüller und ungarischen Nationalgesichter" by Clemens Brentano is a narrative work likely written during the early 19th century. The story follows Herr Wehmüller, a traveling painter who finds himself embroiled in a web of confusion and mistaken identity involving portraits of Hungarian people as he seeks to reunite with his wife during a time of plague. The opening of the book introduces Herr Wehmüller, who receives a distressing letter from his wife urging him to return to her in Stuhlweißenburg. As he prepares to leave, he learns from his friend Lury that travel is now perilous due to a pestilence lockdown. Despite warnings, Wehmüller is undeterred and insists on departing. His journey becomes increasingly chaotic when he encounters a peasant who claims to have traveled with a different Wehmüller, sowing confusion over his identity. Additionally, he meets characters like Graf Giulowitsch and others, who contribute to the growing hilarity and uncertainty surrounding his quest. This narrative sets the tone for an engaging tale of adventure mixed with elements of comedy and intrigue. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
