About This Novel

"Meeting at Terget" is a novel by Glass. In the first half of the 17th century, there were deep contradictions and constant conflicts between various religious sects, German emperors and princes in Germany. After the Thirty Years' War, a group of literati with lofty ideals gathered in the small town of Terget to talk about the past and the present. They spoke freely. While discussing serious academic issues such as poetry and drama, they lamented the fate of themselves and their motherland. With the help of poems and essays, they worked together to reunify the motherland, but while they were talking loudly, they also made jokes, used vulgar words, and were informal and unrestrained. In the end, they even drafted a "peace appeal" together, but an unexpected fire reduced the gathering place and the "appeal" to ashes, and all the good wishes of the literati and lofty ideals disappeared.
