Summary
Alfred Döblin: The Tale of Materialism
Nature has gone mad with materialistic science and is going on strike. Only when man, the creator of the materialistic theory, abandons the mechanistic view of the world, nature, after exciting and dramatic events, comic and tragic plots, returns to its usual course. Nature itself knew how it was with her. They fit well, namely. Eternal wisdom, wisdom, determined the standards of the earth, imprinted its footprints on it, laid the foundation stones and encouraged the birds to take out the eggs that the sun gave birth to from the hot sand. One truth, one reliable knowledge and primordial strength instructed the chamois how to give birth on the cliffs and explained the precise moment when they should begin.
"When hunger and frost, the need for a roof over the head and, perhaps, even the love of honor are satisfied, what remains? A veil is drawn over the rest of existence - some monstrous remnant".
