These fictional accounts of German student life in three different historical periods center on the relationships among young men and attempts to reconcile the spiritual and the secular. The stories, valuable as "symbolic autobiography," feature theology students grappling with doubt and worldliness, often guided by a mentor, and serve as early sketches for themes later developed in works like Demian and Narcissus and Goldmund.
