Das Labyrinth: Ein Lebenslauf aus dem 18. Jahrhundert

A bildungsroman tracing a life from curious childhood through formative encounters with family, language, and reading; domestic scenes portray a tense intimacy with a dominant father, a gentle mother, and siblings, while the child's discovery of letters and patterned images awakens self-awareness. The narrative weaves memory, everyday ritual, and mythic echoes to map inner labyrinths of identity, artistic impulse, and longing as the protagonist negotiates social expectations, creative apprenticeship, and the draw of landscape and travel stories that shape personal history.
