Semper der Jüngling by Otto Ernst Schmidt
"Semper der Jüngling" by Otto Ernst Schmidt is a Bildungsroman written in the early 20th century. The story follows the life of Asmus Semper, a sixteen-year-old student at a preparatory school in Hamburg as he navigates the complexities of education, family, and personal growth in a rapidly changing society. The narrative delves into his aspirations and experiences as he embarks on a journey to understand himself and the world around him. Theopening of the book introduces Asmus Semper’s euphoric moment upon learning that he has been granted a position as a student teacher, allowing him to engage with the minds of young children. As his joy unfolds, we also meet his warm but struggling family, particularly his mother, who echoes the happiness of her son. Asmus's excitement is mingled with a desire to make his parents proud and a sense of responsibility, as he contemplates his forthcoming role in the education system. Although he initially views teaching as a privilege, he soon faces the reality of his duties, primarily monitoring late students, which starkly contrasts his romanticized expectations.
