One night, German philosopher Hans Blumenberg returns to his study
to find a shocking sight a lion lying on the floor as if it's the
most natural thing in the world. The lion stretches comfortably on
the Turkmen rug, eyes resting comfortably on Blumenberg. The
philosopher with some effort retains his composure, even when the
next day during his lecture the lion makes another appearance,
ambling slowly down the center aisle. Blumenberg glances around;
the seats are full, but none of his students seem to see the lion.
What is going on here?Blumenberg is the captivating and witty
fictional tale of this likable philosopher and the handful of
students who come under the spell of the supernatural lion
including skinny Gerhard Optatus Baur, a promising young
Blumenbergian, and the delicate, haughty Isa, who falls head over
heels in love with the wrong man. Written by Sibylle Lewitscharoff,
whom Die Welt called the "most dazzling stylist of contemporary
German literature," Blumenberg will delight English readers for the
first time.
