The story centers around the main character, Dr. Jakobus Sinsheimer, affectionately known as Jockele, whose unconventional upbringing as a foundling leads to his dynamic entry into society. The narrative unfolds during his wedding celebrations and early married li...
Jockele at his wedding in Bonn, where he provocatively asserts that men who live without the significant influence of women lack depth and understanding. This declaration captures the attention of the guests, particularly his wife Doris’s father, Xaverius Rinkhaus, setting the stage for potential conflict between tradition and the fresh ideals Jockele represents. Through playful banter with wedding guests, particularly the young and spirited Hanna von Fellner, Jockele’s view of marriage and women is explored, suggesting both admiration and wariness of the love he has for Doris. As the couple begins their journey together, they dream of adventure and exploration, particularly their travels to places like the "Island of Resurrection," hinting at the adventures and challenges that lie ahead for them in their early married life.
