"Zerbin, oder die neuere Philosophie" by Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz is a narrative published in 1776. A young philosophy student in Leipzig abandons his father's wealth to build an independent life through teaching. His relationships with three women expose his moral compromises and self-interest. When he seduces Marie, a devoted young woman who supports him financially, then abandons her during pregnancy, the consequences prove devastating. Marie's unwavering love and Zerbin's belated recognition of his betrayal drive both toward tragic ends in this tale of moral failure. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
