Summary "Benno Stehkragen" by Karl Ettlinger is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Benno Stehkragen, a small and awkward bank clerk whose life is filled with the mundane routines of office work during a tumultuous time, likely set against the backdrop of World War I. The book explores themes of identity, societal expectations, and the inner workings of a deeply introspective character grappling with his existence. The opening of the novel finds Benno awakening in a field hospital after sustaining injuries from the war, introducing us to the existence of his manuscript, a chaotic collection reflecting the disorder of his life. As he navigates the memories of his pre-war existence, we are introduced to his work life at the bank, detailing the drudgery and humor found in his interactions with colleagues, particularly one notable Fräulein Böhle, who captivates him. Through witty internal monologues and vivid descriptions of his world, Ettlinger paints a poignant picture of a man whose trivial daily experiences harbor rich emotional depth, setting the stage for Benno's journey of self-discovery and the exploration of his unfulfilled dreams.
