Die erleuchteten Fenster oder die Menschwerdung des Amtsrates Julius Zihal. Ein Umweg

The story of the transformation of civil servant Julius Zihal begins with his retirement. Now, as a life clearly defined by regulations and official instructions suddenly threatens to lose its meaning, it becomes apparent that it was precisely the bureaucratic pragmatism that allowed the civil servant to evade his humanity for over forty years of service.

The novel "A Detour" reflects the world of Austrian Baroque. On a vividly colorful stage, the twin destinies of two very different men unfold. Both try to escape their tragic fate. But there is no way out, only a detour, a period for self-discovery.
