Summary
Gerhard Amanshauser: As a barbarian in the Prater
In his work *Autobiography of a Youth* (1928 - 1950) Gerhard Amanshauser developed a new literary form: humorous, exciting, not at all monotonous, a kind of mixture of prose and anecdote. Raised between the bourgeois world of the 19th century, embodied by his grandparents, and parents who, like members of the *Wandervögel* ("migrating birds") movement, stepped straight into National Socialism, Amanshauser remains deeply anarchist in his attitude to life. Whether it is the conquest of the "great wine booty" within the walls of the fortress, the secret sexual meaning of the word "Hawaii" for the maid or the unwanted loss of the flag with the swastika - for which he is sentenced to "service in the East" - Gerhard Amanshauser has an eye for the essential and mercilessly exposes human weaknesses, including his own. As a seventeen-year-old, he becomes fully aware of the meaninglessness of war when a cow kicks him while his unit is stationed in some kind of barn. At one point, immediately after the end of the war, he also realizes this: he will not lift a finger for reconstruction. As a "barbarian" in Vienna's Prater, he speaks of a generation of economic miracles whose sudden return to an orderly life focused on the acquisition of material goods arouses nothing but contempt.
