Produktbeschreibung
The real man explores the unraveling of public image and the inner confrontation of a young man entangled in moral crisis. Beginning in a quiet town, the protagonist is initially presented as a respected figure in local banking, admired for his orderly life. A discussion with a colleague highlights this admiration but subtly foreshadows the fragility of reputation. As the narrative progresses, his involvement in a financial misstep linked to a questionable loan unveils deeper issues of ethical compromise and the fragile veneer of professional success. Tensions escalate as he faces accountability from a superior, leading to a moment of violence that severs his connection to his previous life. Forced to abandon his societal standing, he must redefine himself beyond the roles imposed by career and social expectation. The novel shifts focus from external approval to internal reckoning, exploring how ambition, shame, and survival shape identity. It critiques material success and challenges traditional definitions of manhood, inviting the reader to consider how one becomes real in the face of collapse.
