Debit and Credit Translated from the German of Gustav Freytag

The English translation you mentioned attributed to L.C.C. likely aims to make Freytag's work accessible to English-speaking audiences. While I couldn't identify the specific translator with the initials L.C.C. it's common for translators to use initials or pseudonyms in literary translations. Debit and Credit follows the life of Anton Wohlfart a young man from a rural background who moves to Leipzig to pursue a career in commerce. The novel traces Anton's journey as he navigates the complexities of business encounters ethical dilemmas and confronts the social stratification of 19th-century German society. Freytag's novel is celebrated for its realistic portrayal of the business world and its insightful commentary on the moral challenges faced by individuals striving for success in a rapidly industrializing society. Debit and Credit remains a significant work in German literature and offers valuable insights into the economic and social dynamics of the time.
