Summaries

A bank teller discovers an accounting error and becomes rich.

As timid as a deer, Kleon, an impecunious and fiercely conscientious bank teller who works his fingers to the bone for peanuts, dreams of making a better future for himself--and perhaps having a slice of the good life. Trapped at his tiny desk, Kleon is fed up with counting other people's money, until one day a formidable and equally-inexplicable accounting discrepancy transforms the once-honest employee into an out-and-out embezzler bent on realising his dreams of grandeur and his unspoken, suppressed desires. However, more money always means more problems, and as statuesque gold-digger Bibi intends to soak him for every penny, more and more, Kleon comes to understand that all good things must end. Suddenly, Kleon realises that he has spent nearly half his life behind bars. What good is a life of riches when you have lost your soul?—Nick Riganas

Kleon is a poor man trying to make his living with a small job at a bank. One day, he discovers an accounting error; he decides not to report it but to take the money and instantly become rich, This gives him the chance to live the rich life of his dreams, but is there any chance that this will go unnoticed at the bank?—Chris Makrozahopoulos <[email protected]>
