Going to pick up Spielhagen’s The Breaking of the Storm which has been on my list for a while, 250k words of north German business and societal intrigue in the 1870s. Sources and transcriptions:

The trigger in the fiction is the real 1872 Baltic Sea flood, so I’ll claim Early Morning After a Storm at Sea for the cover art, will assign when there’s a DB entry.

Repo is at https://github.com/robinwhittleton/friedrich-spielhagen_the-breaking-of-the-storm_s-e-a-h-stephenson.

I went ahead and assigned the artwork, Robin - it was the (very!) least I could do!
