Reinhard P. Gruber Pepsch Gottscheber (Illustrated by) - From the life of Hödlmoser

A Styrian novel with stage direction

Was dem Deutschen sein Faust, das ist dem Österreicher sein Hödlmoser.

Hödlmoser, an anachronistic hero, assumes the traditional attitude of the simple man: lover, paterfamilias, mountain climber, poacher, alcoholic, armchair politician, ruffian, patricide, cuckold. The comic element arises from the wide discrepancy between action and language. ... when Styria falls to pieces, so does Austria.

I have to admit that I haven't read such a delightful novel for a long time – delightful especially because its intellectual wit – a rare thing today – is comprehensible to all. Joachim Schondorff, Münchner Merkur
