Drei Gerechten Kammmacher

drei gerechten Kammmacher

by Gottfried Keller

In Gottfried Keller's novella "Die drei gerechten Kammmacher", three skilled craftsmen are driven by ambition and desire. They work for the same master, share a dream of owning their own comb-making business, and are all smitten with the same wealthy young woman. Their pursuit of these goals leads them down a path of intense rivalry and ultimately to a surprising and ironic conclusion. Keller's tale is a satirical commentary on human nature, highlighting the absurdity of ambition and the unexpected twists of fate.
