Der heilige Bürokrazius: Eine heitere Legende

A satirical, episodic legend follows a sanctified figure devoted to administrative ritual and his offbeat ministry, framed by a mock-sermon narrator. Through a sequence of humorous chapters — including a celebrated fasting sermon, celestial petitions, the saint’s earthly mission, the recruitment of eccentric followers, disputations, whimsical inventions, culinary interludes, and clashes with political agitators — the narrative lampoons bureaucracy, title-seeking, and human vanity. The tone blends affectionate parody with moral observation, using caricatured episodes and comic ritual to explore institutional absurdity, social pretensions, and the curious ways authority and piety intersect.
