Gerold SpäthFirst published 19751 editions

A rollicking and robust novel--Rabelaisian account of the life and career of an irrepressible, uninhibited youth raised in Rapperswil, Switzerland, a ne'er-do-well innocent who suddenly comes into an inheritance. Likened to James Joyce's world of Dublin: A joyous Tour De Force of literary merit and entertainment.
