This essay analyzes the theme of "mythical" foundational narratives to examine the development of the protagonist, Helmuth Hensau. On the one hand, it demonstrates that the text demythifies the immigrant figure by including the criminal activities of the main character and those of his compatriots, and that the novel supplements historiography by discussing these negative aspects of settlement which are generally omitted.
