Summary "Egholm and his God" by Johannes Buchholtz is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the central character, Egholm, who is deeply enmeshed in the struggles and moral dilemmas of his life as he seeks spiritual clarity and financial stability amid personal and familial turmoil. The narrative explores themes of faith, the burdens of belief, and the impact of religion on relationships and personal choices. The opening of the book introduces us to Sivert, Egholm's son, who is whimsically observing the dreary environment through a window, while his mother, Fru Egholm, is concerned about her husband’s return from a difficult day. Egholm eventually arrives home disheveled and troubled, hinting at deeper issues he's grappling with, particularly his involvement in a religious brotherhood and the financial obligations that come with it. The dynamics within the family unfold as Egholm's intense views on faith conflict with Fru Egholm’s cautious pragmatism, setting up a tension that permeates their interactions. As the family's financial struggles intersect with their spiritual beliefs, the narrative foreshadows significant conflicts and challenges ahead. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
