Abstract:

The first in a four-volume collection of one of the most influential writers of post-World War II Germany, often called the German James Joyce. In Lake Scenery with Pocahontas, he writes: "Think. Don't be content with belief: go further. Once more through the circles of knowledge friends! And foes. Don't interpret: learn and describe. Don't futurize: be. And die without ambitions: you were. At best full of curiosity."
