Monaco of Bavaria. Gymnasium Wittelsbach. 1928. When the boys talk about the Fourth B prof. Kandlbinder, professor of greek, a thin man, pale and insignificant That means only comment was keeping out of everything . Lessons trivial, boring, clean, and very careful not to have wards or targets. Germany, indefinite city, ten years later. The professor of German, who already see dark clouds gathering for un'improvvida correction to the subject of one of his students, takes refuge in his cold and distant strangeness, turning his thoughts in contempt for his students: not want to undergo disciplinary punishment for your beautiful eyes, let alone lose the bread ... From now on I will tell you that there are no men other than you, I will repeat it ad nauseum , and discovers that his nickname among the students is the "Fish" because his face is always so still, and not never know what you think and if you think. When the gymnasium Wittelsbach, after a humiliating interrogation in greek led by Rex, the Rektor of the Gymnasium, Franz Kien, bad student in any discipline, always disoriented, always abstract, claims that its going to be a writer one day, indicating that, what kind, it will be great, he, like most loved author, he, who also devoured Henry IV and Richard III , cites Karl May (the Salgari German traveler who never traveled) between scorn and wonder of the Rex, the admirer of Socrates, who has to reveal to the whole class that Kien is welcomed to school for free for compassion. Hanover, high school, a few years before the First World War, during the preparation of the vote in the conduct report, Wolfran student kidnapped by Absence, mild forms of epilepsy, stuttering, oddly, gets up in front of the prof. Corax, philologist, Last nemesis of his conflict with school and tells his talks with Socrates night and his questions about what to read. I answer: 'I read Karl May'. And Socrates: "Excellent. ... At one time it was the turn of Siegfried, now it's up to Old Shatterhand ". Wolfram and collects books, and leaves the classroom and school, and the novel. Franz Kien Wittelsbach was expelled from grammar school and let the story fall asleep on Through the desert of Karl May. The professor of German cities indefinite suspension from teaching, he went to teach at a mission in Africa: Take it all away, do not forget anything! Do not leave anything behind you! The Negro should be From the black.
Three short stories, set in German schools during the years when it settles, the words and the souls of the young, the disease that will lead to World War II. Three very different stories, a short novel of fiction, Youth godless, yellow, murder-investigation-falsisospetti-revelation (even if, as yellow, rather percolation) and extended over a few days, built on a strong domestic focus in the anonymous professor of German, his thoughts, short fragments bitter, his observation of a world increasingly fierce in obedience and adolescence; and two autobiographical novels, Three roads to the school - Wolfram which is reflected in the infancy of Ernst Jünger - expanded in the three years needed to change schools, and three different paths to get there, and along each lost to explore that world within himself so different from the shadows of the school, and The father of a murderess , which covers just one hour, the time in which greek Franz Kien everything possible wrong in the spelling and translation into German It is praise worthy home and end up being expelled. One Youth godless , nearest to the explosion ferocity, written almost in direct, set in the era of National Socialism triumphant now, a world without names and identity, the anonymous professor, and mere initial students, and one name, Eve, the thief heels on the edge, eslege, refuge in the woods, free from sexuality, and only thought the ruling, radio, radio, radio, and every truth in the slogan becomes joyful pride and arrogance of the issues his students. The other two, those autobiographical, lying on the twentieth century advanced, both last year in the life of the author, but which have their roots farther: the origin of the century Three roads to the school , to draw that ' humus in which grew an intellectual who was long accused contiguity with the Nazis, somewhere between the other two texts The father of a murderess over the years which preceded the Nazi conquest of power, and real link between the before and after, because the dreaded Rex, "the father of the Assassin", is none other than Himmler's father. All three, however, have something in common reading. Children who escape from the world, and seek a just, their own freedom, in the books: Franz Kien, who is a writer, escaping from the world "through the desert" Wolfram, that divides the road to the third school in three parts, the first to recite Schiller, the second, the 'heroic', to Old Shatterhand or observed or Stanley Robinson or an Argonaut in Colchis, before the third, the anguish, door to school, that lesson to finally condemn Socrates prof. Corax: from the pedagogical point of view considers it a nullity , and even including the Youth godless "devastated by the conformism of the blindness and pride, student B, in secret, law, law, law, and a day talks.
