Project Gutenberg 2014-01-07 Public domain in the USA. 84 Reimann, Hans 1889 1969 Kobolz: Grotesken Produced by Jens Sadowski "Kobolz: Grotesken" by Hans Reimann is a collection of grotesque tales written in the early 20th century. The work explores the absurdities of life through a variety of narratives and characters, constructing a surreal landscape where the mundane often intersects with the bizarre. Each piece promises to engage with elements of humor, irony, and whimsy, presenting a sharp commentary on human nature and society. The opening of the collection sets a whimsical yet uneasy tone, as the narrator reflects on a blank sheet of paper, contemplating its emptiness and potential. This moment of introspection is quickly disrupted by the bizarre presence of a "grotesque" creature that defies logic, symbolizing the chaotic challenges that writers and individuals face in creativity and existence. As the narrative unfolds, it transitions into a series of vividly eccentric scenarios and dialogues featuring characters like Ephraim, who wrestles with writer's block, and a night watchman encountering dancing wooden clogs, hinting at the ludicrous adventures and moral quandaries that will populate the subsequent tales. Through these whimsical beginnings, Reimann invites readers to ponder deeper themes of existence while maintaining a light-hearted, satirical approach.
