The Steel Hammer

Louis Ulbach (1822 - 1889)
Translated by Elizabeth Wormeley Latimer (1822 - 1904)

A large inheritance greatly transforms the lives of three people: a good man, who would have inherited at least a part of the fortune if his uncle hadn't passed away before altering the will, his cousin, who inherits all but is prevented from enjoying it, and a gambler, who is in desperate need of such a sum of money. The connection of the three ends fatal for at least one of them. (Summary by Carolin)
