Ein selbsterzähltes Leben

Ten years before his death, the German sculptor, graphic artist, and poet Ernst Barlach presents his autobiography titled "A Self-Told Life." Barlach, who can be counted among the most significant German Expressionists, created literary works that are on par with his artistic creations, yet are far less known. His distinctive, expressive language serves as a "reflection of the infinite," and the vividness of his expression, his humor, and his keen powers of observation make this autobiography a classic that continues to bring great joy to readers today. This volume is complemented by Barlach's autobiographical Güstrow fragments.
