Set in Munich’s Schwabing artists’ quarter, it follows the Hungarian student Etelka, her admirer Aladár, and a vivid circle of painters, designers, poets, and expatriates orbiting the Biedermann boardinghouse. The story probes the allure and hazards of bohemian life, where play-acting, artistic ambition, and social masquerade blur into everyday existence. The beginning of the novel introduces a bright, unseasonal Munich day, where Etelka meets the iparművésznő Karla at the museum and becomes intrigued by a new social world. Aladár pursues entry to a Biedermann penzió fête via the scruffy painter Bukovina, who engineers a fake police raid to outwit a dance ban, revealing a motley crowd: the commanding Ingert, the magnetic Miss Northon, and other eccentrics whirling through smoky rooms improvised from former stables. A later coffee gathering welcomes Zdenka, a naive craftswoman from Prague who is mocked for her accent until Aladár gallantly intervenes; the celebrated poet Lilienthal drops in, while an earnest student-poet, Zwirn, courts notice with verses. The group spills to the intimate Bohém café, where wall-scribbled modernisms frame more dancing and self-display; Karla meets the sober photographer Franci, whose cool critique hints at Schwabing’s tendency to intoxicate, distract, and sometimes undo the young who drift into its orbit.
