Recalling Past Life: About Days Forgotten, Dreams Dreamt, Books Read, and Some Flute Music

This booklet is grown from careless, partly lost notes that had been sent to relatives and classmates several years ago. It dates back to an era before the flood and pandemic, and war struck worse than ever. Retired because of my poor eyesight, my interest in literature had awakened, and the exchange seemed worthwhile once more. Thus this little booklet has still been gathered. This English translation has been corrected and slightly extended. The older German version is available as an audiobook, together with some music. My heartfelt thanks go to everyone involved.

Keywords: school memories, literary criticism, humor, cat love,

philosophy of mathematics, flute music, dream experience, Kafka.

Genre: entertainment literature, flute literature.
