Der Hase: Eine Erzählung

The narrative alternates between a rustic vignette of a young hare that wanders from a dark forest into an open plain and into a strange human-made shelter where frightening human violence forces it to flee, and a reflective first-person account of a man who recalls having been wealthy and who becomes obsessed after briefly glimpsing an indistinct stranger in a crowded street, then losing consciousness and waking at home disturbed; the two threads probe chance encounters, disorientation, and the uneasy boundary between safety and danger as memory, fear, and curiosity reshape daily life.
