Gefunden II. Meine Thüringer Autoren

Found: I walked in the woods, just for myself, and seeking nothing, that was my intention. Like the old master Goethe, Torsten Unger had already traversed the forests of Thuringian literary history in the first volume. Now he has continued his journey and once again discovered a wealth of old and new traces. Do you know the Virgin of Weimar, do you know who nearly fell off their chair laughing while reading Schiller's poem "Song of the Bell," or which female writer increased the circulation of a magazine from 100,000 to 400,000, and which Nobel Prize-winning author was almost denied an honorary doctorate from the Friedrich Schiller University Jena? The second volume also embarks on a quest for those who rightfully stand in the light, as well as those unjustly forgotten, whose legacies are gathering dust in archives. In the shadows, I saw a little flower standing, shining like stars, beautiful like little eyes. In compiling almost every single profile, Torsten Unger has uncovered small or larger secrets that readers can look forward to. All those portrayed share the fact that they have made a distinctive and lasting contribution to the intellectual wealth of Thuringia. And for each, there are tips for further reading, true to the saying: "And plant it again in the quiet place, now it branches out and blooms on.".
