Immer mutig!

Meer over het boek

The narrative evokes a haunting stillness in a world where silence envelops both people and animals, suggesting a profound disconnect. A motionless policeman shares a park bench with a vagabond, engaged in a silent exchange, while a regiment of decorated night watchmen stands in perpetual attention outside the town hall. The absence of children's voices from the school amplifies the eerie quiet. Paul Scheerbart, known for his fantastical literature and illustrations, captures this unsettling atmosphere, inviting readers to explore themes of silence and observation.
