NOSTRANIMA: novel summary
“NOSTRANIMA – On adventure, erotic affairs, wisdom, and utopia” by Johannes Themelis
One must not have experienced everything, what is told in this book. It would also suffice to surf through the countless television programmes – nibble here a little adventure, there a little erotic affair, there a little wisdom, and there a little utopia, but however stay only briefly everywhere. Then continue to roam and at the most return in order to notice how things have developed at an earlier transmission in the meantime. Actually one would have to experience nothing by oneself at all, but could abandon to the waste of motifs in a virtual world and consume quasi second-hand the experiences of other people. And those are enough: Claudette Williams, the screenwriter, and with her the Big Director and the Film Producer. Countess Geneviève von B. and her daughter, the most beautiful Countess Clio. Sir Basil Cheltenham, who turns at many wheels, and his devoted troop, before all Agent Tyra, who went through many fictitious biographies, as well as Lieutenant Murky Wolf from the Bronx and Master Sergeant Brian Thomson from White Rock, Minnesota. His sister Charlene Thomson, who escaped from this hicksville and began to operate in the best circles of Washington (among other jobs as a spin doctor of Senator Hawborne, who came to such an inglorious end), before she got the chance to marry to England. One also finds Charlene’s friends, Amy, Pussy, and Trudy, all three very blond and dressed in neon colours, as long as they wear something at all. Perhaps one stays a little longer with the Australian shaman with the honorary title Walemira Talmai, who is called Berenice in the West and becomes a renowned therapist. With her a small group of compatriots (among them one, who’s inexpressible name was translated with “Chicago”). They live at the stately home of the deceased Lady Pru, who had left everything that she possessed to her deep black Aborigines friends. There are still more however: US General Heather H. Skelton, her husband Gus and her daughter Alex, the sensational escape artist. Colonel Kendick, who falls deep, and Major Kravcuk, who rises high. In China old Hong Wu Zhijian and his young assistant Dan Mai Zheng, who attracts more than only desirous gazes. In Spain Don Julio Sanchez Barzon, gynaecologist and as such also connoisseur of many women, and his wife Margharita, whose life takes a particularly surprising twist. The Japanese-American couple Seiji and Sharon Sakamoto. The Hualapi chieftain Sherman Yellowhawk, who seems completely harmless, but in truth maintains the old virtues and even knows how to transform into a falcon. The strange Arab businessman Ahmed Al-Qafr. The professors Schreiner, Ivanovich, Kouradraogo, and Migschitz, luminaries of scientific sharlatanry. The much more respectable Greek scholar Anastacia Panagou and her remarkable creatures. Worth mentioning is certainly the Pulitzer winner Leo Di Marconi, from whom they took the fight out. Terminating this list with him, we forgot still someone for sure, perhaps some very important persons. In addition, the persistent rumour on another universe, just as richly populated as ours, is only suggested. By the way, there are people who say this whole report is trash – but if this is true, it is exactly the confused substance, which nowadays is sold to us as our existence.
