Grab Des Herrn Schefbeck

Grab des Herrn Schefbeck

by Josef Ruederer

Herr Schefbeck, a man who has led a life of ostentatious wealth, finds himself dead and left with a rather inconvenient problem: his legacy. Having spent lavishly during his lifetime, he leaves his second wife, Olli, with very little. From beyond the grave, he observes the preparations for his opulent mausoleum, a monument to his wealth and vanity, even as whispers of his extravagance and questionable spending habits swirl among Munich's social circles. The book delves into the complexities of the afterlife, the follies of ambition, and the enduring power of societal judgment, all with a darkly comedic twist.
