Summary: "Mein Leben und Streben" by Karl May is a self-biographical account written during the late 19th century. This work delves into the life, struggles, and reflections of the author, serving both as a narrative of his own experiences and as a philosophical exploration of existence and human nature. At the start of the book, May introduces a fantastical narrative about a mythical star called Sitara, symbolizing the dichotomy between a prosperous, harmonious realm (Dschinnistan) and a land of oppression and suffering (Ardistan). This allegorical tale transitions into his own story, detailing his impoverished childhood in a place rife with hardship, the loss of family members, and the burden of premature responsibility as he navigates his family's struggles. His narrative is marked by a profound introspection as he reflects on his parents' lives, especially the unwavering strength of his mother and the complexities of his father's character. Through this opening, May establishes a connection between his personal tribulations and broader existential themes, setting the stage for deeper revelations about identity and morality as the narrative unfolds.
