N2  - "Worauf freuen wir uns jetzt?" by Fritz Müller-Partenkirchen is a collection of light-hearted stories written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around a character named Max, whose perpetual question, "Worauf freuen wir uns jetzt?" (What are we looking forward to now?), serves as both a theme and a motto throughout his life. This curious phrase signifies Max's optimistic outlook, which contrasts with the serious realities he encounters, including war, personal loss, and societal expectations.  The opening of the work introduces us to Max's character, illustrating how this mantra has accompanied him from childhood into adulthood. His simple yet profound question prompts smiles and laughter, even in grim situations, such as political disagreements and life’s disappointments. As he faces personal trials, including heartbreak and the global turmoil of war, Max's question often stirs both reflection and comedy, creating a humorous narrative that challenges the reader to consider the value of optimism amidst adversity.
