The Sleepwalkers (2011) - Plot & Excerpts

He waited for ten days. Then he became uneasy. The report had obviously not come up to the Major’s expectations. But was it his fault that that cretin Esch provided him with no material? Huguenau considered whether he should follow up the first report with a second, but what was he to say in it? That Esch was colloguing as usual with the vine-growers and the factory workers was nothing new; that would only bore the Major!
The Major mustn’t be bored—Huguenau racked his brains to find some proposal to lay before the Major. Something simply must be done; Esch reigned supreme in the office and acted as though the real editor of the paper were non-existent, and in the printing-shed everything was dreary beyond endurance. Huguenau looked through the great newspapers for stimulation, and found it when he made the discovery that all these journals were labouring in the service of national charities, while the Kur-Trier Herald had undertaken nothing, absolutely nothing at all. So that was what Herr Esch’s warmth of heart amounted to, that warmth of heart which could not endure the spectacle of the misery among the vine-growers.
