The Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Das Königl. Seminartheater — Altenroda — Grünlein: Novellen" by Paul Keller is a collection of short stories (novellas) written in the early 20th century. The book opens with fond reminiscences of student days and idealistic youth, vividly portraying the camaraderie, artistic enthusiasm, and small rebellions of a group of young men at a teacher seminary in Breslau. The central figures are Keller himself (as narrator) and his close friends Heilgans, Bartsch, Böttger, and others, whose collective escapades in forming an amateur theater troupe blend humor, nostalgia, and personal growth. Overall, the collection likely explores rural and small-town life, youthful dreams, and human connections in Silesia, combining autobiographical elements with local color. The opening of the book is divided between two stories: the first, "Das Königliche Seminartheater," recounts the narrator’s entrance into the Breslau seminary and the formation of a wildly passionate—and often comical—student theater. Through a series of humorous and heartwarming anecdotes, the boys endure examinations, dream up dramatic productions, navigate friendships, rivalries, pranks, and the challenges of adolescence. The second story, "In den Grenzhäusern," shifts to a rural, mountainous borderland, depicting the narrator's youthful adventures among innkeepers, border guards, and villagers. Here, he observes village life, folk customs, and the petty—and sometimes poignant—smuggling that shapes local existence, culminating in a moving scene of love and loss. Taken together, the beginning of the book offers affectionate, richly characterized vignettes of youthful ambition and the everyday dramas of Silesian life.
