Der gerissene Kater Spiegel, der den Hexenmeister über den Tisch zieht; der schmollende Tagedieb Pankraz, den eine Begegnung mit einem Löwen und einem eitlen Frauenzimmer zum Manne macht; drei rivalisierende Gesellen, die an dem gierigen Verlangen nach einer reichen Jungfer reihum zugrunde gehen: Das sind die Leute von Seldwyla. Anhand ihrer Lebensbilder schildert Gottfried Keller die Engstirnigkeit, Beschränktheit und Zerrüttung, die hinter dem scheinbaren Idyll eines Dorfes schlummern.
