The novel is the story of Dreyer, a wealthy and boisterous
proprietor of a men's clothing emporium store. Ruddy,
self-satisfied, and thoroughly masculine, he is perfectly repugnant
to his exquisite but cold middle-class wife Martha. Attracted to
his money but repelled by his oblivious passion, she longs for
their nephew instead, the myopic Franz. Newly arrived in Berlin,
Franz soon repays his uncle's condescension in his aunt's bed.
