E-text prepared by Norbert H. Langkau, Evelyn Kawrykow, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) "Die Leute von Seldwyla — Band 2" by Gottfried Keller is a collection of narratives written in the late 19th century. This work, part of a series that explores the lives and follies of the inhabitants of the fictional Swiss town of Seldwyla, delves into social themes, exploring identity, status, and human behavior. The opening segment focuses particularly on the character of Wenzel Strapinski, an impoverished tailor who finds himself in comically precarious situations related to his appearance and mistaken identity. The beginning of the narrative introduces the setting and social dynamics of Seldwyla, where the tailor, Wenzel, arrives in the prosperous city of Goldach wearing a luxurious cloak that leads others to believe he is of noble birth. Amidst his hunger and poverty, Wenzel is offered a ride in a lavish carriage, and upon arrival, he unwittingly attracts attention, resulting in a series of misunderstandings about his identity. As he is welcomed into the local society, a comedic tale unfolds whereby his humble origins clash with the expectations of wealth and status, highlighting the overarching theme that appearances can be deceiving and that clothes can indeed make the man.
