Conflict from "Journey into the past"

I’ve chosen to write about the conflict when Ludwig had to leave Germany and the love of his life. The conflict is from the book “Journey into the past” written by Stefan Zweig.

Short time after they both realized they were in love with each other, Ludwig and his secret lover had to split apart due to the distance that was about to occur. It was Ludwig’s job that sent him away to Mexico - away from his lover - for two years. The moment when he told his lover he had to leave, was quite sad and emotional. Glorious days with secret meets to heal the longing for each other while hiding their love, was soon to be replaced by an ocean that only letters would cross. Two years was expanded to nine years because of the war, and their thought endless love seemed to approach an end. While world war one prevented the letters from crossing the ocean, Ludwig married a new woman in Mexico. They got kids, and the memories of his past lover where beginning to fade away.

At that time, it seemed like their love would die, but reading the rest of the book will show you how much Ludwig was willing to sacrifice only to be with his past love again.
