| Summary | "Das höllische Automobil: Novellen" by Otto Julius Bierbaum is a collection of whimsical narratives written in the early 20th century. The stories delve into fantastical themes and feature various eccentric characters, including a giant named Rumbo and a clever human named Frechdachs, who find themselves embroiled in absurd situations with moral undertones. The overarching topic appears to explore the absurdities of life and the human condition through humor and fantasy. The opening of the work introduces Rumbo, an exceptionally large giant who feels isolated from humanity due to his size and stupidity. He lives in a vast forest, struggling with his lack of companionship and enjoying the simple pleasures of nature on his own terms. The narrative takes a humorous turn when a tiny man, Frechdachs, unexpectedly lands on Rumbo's chest after being sneezed out of his nose. This encounter leads to Frechdachs offering to assist Rumbo in capturing humans for consumption, thus establishing the peculiar partnership that drives the story forward. Through their exploration of this bizarre arrangement, readers are drawn into a world where size, intelligence, and morality are hilariously intertwined.
