Summary: "Die Jobsiade: Ein komisches Heldengedicht in drei Teilen" by Karl Arnold Kortum is a comic poem written in the late 18th century. This work combines humor and satire to portray the life and adventures of the protagonist, Hieronimus Jobs, a theology candidate turned night watchman. The narrative promises a blend of absurdity and laughter as it follows Jobs through various experiences that highlight the foibles of society. At the start of the tale, the author introduces the main character, Hieronimus Jobs, and hints at the unremarkable qualities of his early life. We learn about his birth to a couple living in a small town, his unexceptional childhood, and the expectations that surround him. The narrative comedically details Jobs' lack of enthusiasm for learning, which ultimately sets the stage for his futures, including humorous prophecies from a visiting fortune teller regarding his potential as a clergyman. This opening sets a lighthearted tone for the unfolding absurdities and challenges that Jobs will face, establishing the foundation for the informed comedic critique of social norms within the story.
