Publisher's Synopsis
Remembering and forgetting are omnipresent phenomena in the context of literary history. There are many authors who no one knows anymore, as socio-cultural change often changes the framework for collective memory processes. One example is the Saarland writer Karl Christian Müller (pseudonym: Teut Ansolt), one of the most prominent and controversial leaders of the youth movement, who has now almost been forgotten. In the post-war period he took on a prominent position in the cultural sector, including. as chairman of the "Saarland Authors' Association" and the "Saarland Cultural Circle", and was committed to rebuilding and establishing the "Trucht" as an autonomous group of boys. His work, composed over fifty years, includes poetry, dramas and amateur plays, several short stories and novellas, writings critical of culture, as well as a late work that identifies him as an outstanding natural poet as well as an experimental historical poet.
