Interpretation. Meaning. Definition. Man interprets the forest. Man defines the forest. As if it were that simple. "I wish for the forest to be as it was for me as a child, impenetrable yet bright, dangerous, but also lovingly caressing. I want the robbers back, the spirits, and the many possibilities of getting lost, of going astray." The author, born in Freiburg, paints her very personal picture of the Black Forest in an expressively delicate yet critical reflection, depicting how it once was and how it can be experienced today.
