When Schliemann turned fourteen, his uncle concluded that he'd had enough schooling, and he apprenticed his nephew to a grocer in Furstenberg, a small village about a hundred and fifty miles from Hamburg. Heinrich works for the grocer for five years until a barrel fell on his chest and damaged his lungs.
