| Summary | "Der Besuch im Carcer" by Ernst Eckstein is a humorous novella written in the late 19th century. This work primarily revolves around the life of a school director named Dr. Samuel Heinzerling and his interactions with a mischievous student, Wilhelm Rumpf. Through its comedic lens, the book explores themes of authority, punishment, and the absurdities of academic life. The story unfolds as Dr. Heinzerling, disturbed by the antics of Rumpf, sentences him to a term in the school's detention room, referred to as the "Carcer." In a twist of fate, Rumpf cleverly manages to lock Heinzerling inside the very space intended for punishment. The absurd exchanges between the director and students showcase the humorous banter and the folly of strict educational discipline. Ultimately, the narrative takes on a satirical tone, highlighting the unpredictability of authority figures and the whimsical nature of youth, culminating in a resolution that emphasizes understanding and reconciliation rather than strict punishment.
