The Green Gate: A Romance is a novel written by Ernst Wichert and published in 1875. The story takes place in the small town of Danzig in the mid-19th century and follows the lives of two families, the wealthy von Dornicks and the impoverished Lenzes. The main character is a young woman named Dorothea von Dornick, who falls in love with a poor but talented artist named Max Lenz. The two families are connected by a green gate that separates their properties, and the novel explores the themes of social class, love, and family loyalty. The story is told through multiple perspectives, including those of the two lovers, their families, and other characters in the town. The Green Gate is considered a classic of German literature and has been adapted into several films and stage productions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
