(19) Anmerkung: Eine Bekannte besaß eine der sehr raren 70er Jahre Ausgaben von Zettels Traum. Sie hatte das sehr große Buch in einen Lederumschlag eingenäht. Ich durfte es mir ansehen. Als sie nach ihrer Scheidung eine Privatinsolvenz durchführen musste, wurden auch viele Wertgegenstände konfisziert. Den Wert des Buches, der zum Zeitpunkt schon 4stellig war, erkannte der Gerichtsvollzieher nicht. "Ist doch nur 'n Buch".

Ist auch nicht mein Foto, aber ich bin zu faul nach oben zu laufen in die "Bibliothek". Jedenfalls ist es diesmal wenigstens das richtige Cover!

(17) Heute habe ich ein noch größeres Problem bei "Büchern, die mich beeinflusst haben". Ich bekam als Bücherwurm-Kind von der DDR-Verwandschaft viele Bücher geschenkt (eine komplette "Lehre der Chemie" spottbillig verglichen zum "kapitalistischen" Westen 😀 💵). Ich las sehr gerne die Sammelbände von ...

URANIA UNIVERSUM

Diese Bücher habe ich allesamt nicht mehr. In Google habe ich keines wieder erkannt. Juri Gagarin fehlte 🤔

(1/2) Little note: I enjoyed sharing some of the books that have influenced me, but I enjoy reading about books even more. There are so many more beautiful books out there, but there is a difference between being a beautiful read and influencing someone. And sometimes you can't say why it influenced you, maybe it was just a matter of circumstance.
Many thanks to the unknown person who has initiated this challenge.

20/20 "Work" by CrimethInc + "Werk is geen oplossing" by Marguerite van den Berg + "Nieder mit den Restaurants" by prole.info
#work #labour #labor #workersrights #Activism
For the last book that influenced me, I cheat a bit and choose three books instead of just one. But all three of these books are about work and they are very readable books about work and capitalism.

...gefühlskalten Mann, der von der Sonne fast in den Wahnsinn getrieben wird, der sicher nicht unschuldig ist, jedoch sich eigentlich nur selbst verteidigt, jedoch wegen Mordes zum Tode verurteilt wird. Der Leser begleitet ihn bis zu seinen letzten Stunden.

Es war zudem mein erstes Buch auf Französisch.

...However, the books about #Pharaoh #Ramses II, which I bought on a flee market, marked the beginning of my voyage into this ancient realm.

So w/o further ado, here's the first book 📖:

Ramses: The Son of Light - Volume I
