Summary "Ekkehard: A Tale of the Tenth Century. Vol. 2 (of 2)" by Joseph Victor von Scheffel is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. This narrative delves into the tumultuous events during the 10th century, following the aftermath of a fierce battle between Christians and Huns. The story rich with drama introduces central characters including Ekkehard, a custodian at St. Gall, and Dame Hadwig, along with various supporting figures as they navigate themes of loyalty, love, and conflict. At the start of the second volume, the opening chapter plunges into the somber setting of a battlefield, where the weight of death hangs in the air after a recent clash. The text vividly portrays monks and soldiers as they grapple with the harsh realities of loss, burial ceremonies, and the eerie contrast of life continuing amid sorrow. As the narrative unfolds, characters like Hadumoth and Audifax embark on personal journeys, illustrating youthful resilience as they seek to rescue Audifax from captivity. Meanwhile, the interactions among nobles and commoners showcase societal dynamics, hinting at larger themes of identity and transformation that resonate throughout the novel.
