The people of Seldwyla

The cunning tomcat Spiegel, who pulls the wizard over the table; the sulking day thief Pankraz, whom an encounter with a lion and a vain wench turns into a man; three rival fellows, who perish in turn from the greedy desire for a rich maiden: These are the people of Seldwyla. On the basis of their lives, Gottfried Keller portrays the narrow-mindedness, parochialism and disruption that lie dormant behind the apparent idyll of a village. Tragicomic and grotesquely satirical - "Die Leute von Seldwyla" is a pearl of poetic realism. Reading with Christian Brückner u. v. a. 2 mp3-CDs | ca. 17 h 37 min.
