Az élet sója

First published in instalments online and now a book illustrated with drawings, this text describes how a small town in southern Germany came into being, and its history and customs. It is at once a true tale, a collection of town legends and a historical essay. It asks how personal interest and individual impulse in the depths of a society combine with slow shifts in the realm of the mind to bring about lasting change; here, bourgeois self-interest linked to Luther's spiritual renewal leads, unusually, to a good outcome.
