Timur: Novellen
Der Gott -- Die Herzogin -- Der Bezwinger.
Produced by Jens Sadowski
"Timur: Novellen" by Kasimir Edschmid is a collection of novellas written in the early 20th century. The narratives explore the complexities of identity and belonging through the experiences of the main character, Jean François, who navigates the emotional landscape following his mother's return after years apart, mixed with his adventures across picturesque, yet tumultuous, settings. The juxtaposition of his Polynesian roots with European life presents a poignant exploration of cultural dislocation and personal longing. The opening of "Timur: Novellen" introduces Jean François, a boy raised in Polynesia after his mother leaves him at a young age. As he grows, he adapts to the local culture and language until his mother returns to reclaim him. Their reunion, however, is fraught with emotional distance as Jean François struggles to communicate with his mother, highlighting the disconnection that has developed during their time apart. The narrative follows his journey as he matures, experiencing love, loss, and the call of adventure that ultimately leads him to England, and hints at his future entanglement with themes of identity, belonging, and the impact of cultural heritage on personal identity.
