Franz Kowsky wonders: How is it possible that a young boy born in 1937, who was left fatherless, unsettled and impoverished by the war, is a confident teacher twenty years later? In a precision piece of work unfolding his history private memories become a survey of the (intellectual) history of the Federal State of Germany. It becomes increasingly clear that the history of the young republic is also the answer to the book’s underlying question.
