The story follows Hendrik Rutgers, a dissatisfied bank clerk who aspires for more meaning in his life beyond the confines of his mundane job. Frustrated with the banking industry and the societal expectations that limit him, Hendrik's journey begins as he contemplates his quest for freedom and a better existence. At the start of the novel, we meet Hendrik Rutgers, a charismatic bank clerk who feels trapped in his role at the bank, which he believes only enriches the institution, not himself. After a confrontation with his superior over a pay raise, Hendrik becomes increasingly disillusioned with the capitalist society around him. Fueled by a mix of indignation and the fervor of spring, he decides to resign, viewing his dismissal as an act of liberation rather than loss. In a bold turn of events, he decides to organize a union of sandwich-men, whom he sees as the embodiment of societal wrongs. The opening depicts his fiery spirit and sets the stage for a larger social commentary on class struggle and personal ambition in a rapidly industrializing America.
