About this eBook

Author Edschmid, Kasimir, 1890-1966
Title Das Bücher-Dekameron
Eine Zehn-Nächte-Tour durch die europäische Gesellschaft und Literatur
Credits Produced by Jens Sadowski
Summary "Das Bücher-Dekameron" by Kasimir Edschmid is a collection of literary reflections written in the early 20th century. This work takes readers on a ten-night journey through European society and literature, intertwining personal observations with broader cultural commentary. The narrative appears to reflect on the complexities of modern life in Germany following the First World War, with themes of societal change, identity, and the power of literature. The opening portion sets a captivating tone, highlighting a snowbound predicament that mirrors the broader societal turmoil. Through the persona of a narrator engaged in a dialogue with a gentleman, the narrative explores the essence of what it means to be "German" in a time of political and cultural disarray. The narrator grapples with the legacy of past literary giants while confronting the fragmented identity of contemporary society, ultimately leading to a plea for a new understanding of what it means to be part of this evolving landscape. The blend of philosophical musings, literary analysis, and personal anecdotes invites readers into a rich tapestry of thoughts on existence and expression amidst change.
