The work delves into the turbulent world of post-war Austrian society, focusing on a notorious family conflict within the Eißler industrial dynasty. Through a blend of sociological observation and detailed narrative, the book examines the downfall of Otto Eißler, whose personal tragedy unfolds amid ruthless business rivalries and shifting fortunes. Central characters include Robert Josef Eißler, the formidable head of the wood industry empire, and his cousin Otto, whose eventual act of violence becomes a symbol of wider social decay. The opening of "Schuß in's Geschäft" sets the stage in postwar Vienna, painting a picture of a city transformed by instability, economic speculation, and upheaval. Csokor outlines the dichotomy between the enduring power of the old industrial aristocracy and the rise of a new, more aggressive class of businessmen. The narrative then zeroes in on the Eißler family, tracing the path of internal strife as Robert Eißler’s relentless pursuit of control marginalizes and ultimately displaces his uncle Heinrich and cousin Otto. Otto’s psychological unraveling is depicted in detail—marked by paranoia, alienation, and a growing sense of injustice—culminating in the dramatic act of violence at the heart of the case. Early chapters are rich with character studies and social commentary, providing a vivid introduction to the personal and societal forces that drive the central conflict.
