Summary "Weihnachtsabend" by Theodor Mügge is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative centers on a young couple, Anton and Guste Mertens, who struggle with poverty while working in their modest home on a cold December night. The story unfolds against a backdrop of societal contrasts, exploring themes of class, morality, and the human condition in an industrialized setting. At the start of the novel, the Mertens couple is portrayed in their underground dwelling, laboring diligently as midnight approaches. As they engage in conversation about their financial struggles and the adverse conditions of their lives, the harsh realities of their existence and the broader societal issues of inequality and injustice become apparent. The atmosphere is abruptly disrupted when Anton brings in a wounded stranger, revealing elements of compassion and the unexpected consequences of their choices. The couple's dynamics, overshadowed by poverty yet filled with hope, set the stage for the unfolding drama as they navigate their personal dilemmas amidst the turmoil of the world outside.
