Fuxloh; oder, Die Taten und Anschläge des Kasper Dullhäubel: Ein Schelmenroman

The narrative presents life in an isolated, fir-ringed village and follows the roguish Dullhäubel household across generations, from a hiring scoundrel who cons young men into soldiery to poachers, drinkers, and brawlers. Episodes recount violent, comic, and often self-inflicted misadventures: war-recruitment schemes, poaching raids, drunken exploits, botched revenge, and funeral and burial deceptions. Central strands trace Kasper Dullhäubel's scheming and practical jokes amid local customs and superstitions, mixing earthy humor with folkloric detail. The tone alternates between satirical caricature and rustic nostalgia while the work arranges its material episodically rather than as a single linear plot.
