Die Dämmerung - The Dawn

An article in a German newspaper pointed me at this 104 years old text by Kurt Tucholsky, written in 1920. I almost cant believe how actual it seems to be. It seems as if it was written with our present modern drama in mind. Spooky.

I give first the German link, and then a link to the bot-translation by Google.

And as a type this, I recall another great text. Stefan Zweig's excellent book The World of Yesterday.

Das kann doch alles nicht wahr sein was um uns herum geschieht! I am in a strange mood. It all seems so - so very clear, and yet as if hidden in the mist. Surreal.
