Das Grosse Buch der StrunkeAuthor(s): Guggisberg, Anders Guggisberg\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Nieves, Switzerland\nImprint: Nieves\nISBN-13: 9783905999372, 978-3905999372\nSynopsis\nOnce upon a time, so we are told by the atomists of ancient Greece, triangular and star-shaped, round and sickle-moon atoms whirled about in outer space, with every atom finding its orbit in free fall and accidentally hooking up with others. Wild monsters with three trunks, free-floating uteruses and interlocked brain boxes flew through the emptiness of space, tangling into universes, blazing new suns and dying planets. Potential worlds, one after the other, kept taking shape until creation found rest of sorts and - as humankind hopes - a higher meaning. The Greek atomists envisioned the works of writers being created in the same manner. According to Democritus, letters are atoms swirling about in chaos, where clouds of pure possibility converge into real works like Homer's Odyssey or Plato's Dia.
