Hearts
By Georg Schock

A new force in the literature
Of the world is born with this
romance by a new writer. These
pages reveal an atmosphere Of
pastoral simplicity, people simple
and strong-Germans living in
a Pennsylvania valley. But the
story, in spite Of its simplicit,,
is tremendous, inexorable, dra-
matte, true. The patriarch of
the valley, prosperous, strong
and Just, undertakes to manage
the lives Of his children, three
sons and one daughter. Acousin,
Saul, a school teacher, lives with
the family, and he and the
daughter are in love. This is
the beginning of story tinged
with fate, moving on to .
triumphant end.
