Gottfried Keller's 'Kleider machen Leute' is a timeless classic in German literature, first published in 1874. The novella follows the story of the humble and unassuming tailor's apprentice, Wenzel Strapinski, who is mistaken for a wealthy nobleman due to his fine clothing. Through a series of comical events, Keller explores themes of identity, social class, and the superficial nature of appearances. His vivid and descriptive prose style captures the essence of 19th-century Switzerland, immersing the reader in a world where outward appearances often deceive. Keller's novel is considered a masterpiece of Swiss realism, blending elements of satire and social commentary with a heartfelt exploration of human nature.
