Varia

In his novel Kripp (2012), Otto Licha allows the so-called progressive world spirit to meet the hermetically sealed local sentiment in a fictitious council meeting of a provincial town. A fictional Girstmair advocates the thesis that tolerance is all the more necessary the smaller the world spirit is. (Page 89)
