In vierzehn Kurzerzählungen schreibt Konrad Meise über Ereignisse und Begebenheiten, die menschlich berühren und zum Denken Anlass geben. Die Erzählingen stechen nicht deshalb hervor, weil sie Sensationen enthalten, sondern wegen ihrer Schlichtheit. Das Nebensächliche und Alltägliche, worüber die meisten hinwegsehen, wird hier in den Vordegrund geschoben. Der Leser nimmt teil an menschlichen Schicksalen und Erfahrungen, wird konfrontiert mit der nackten Sprache einer Jugend, die im Strom der Hoffnungslosigkeit dahinsiecht und scheinbar zum Untergang verurteilt ist. Erfährt vom Schmerz und Glück des Jungseins und von der Angst des unwiderruflichen Alterns. Ob über Tapferkeit oder Versagen geschrieben wird, über Ungerechtigkeit oder Aufbegehren oder über die Einsamkeit - die handelnden Gestalten als Individuen in ihrem Milieu stehen einem deutlich vor Augen.

Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton KCMG FRGS (19 March 1821 – 20 October 1890) was an English geographer, explorer, translator, writer, soldier, orientalist, cartographer, ethnologist, spy, linguist, poet, fencer and diplomat. He was known for his travels and explorations within Asia, Africa and the Americas, as well as his extraordinary knowledge of languages and cultures. According to one count, he spoke 29 European, Asian and African languages.[1] Burton's best-known achievements include traveling in disguise to Mecca, an unexpurgated translation of One Thousand and One Nights (commonly called The Arabian Nights in English after early translations of Antoine Galland's French version), bringing the Kama Sutra to publication in English, and journeying with John Hanning Speke as the first Europeans to visit the Great Lakes of Africa in search of the source of the Nile. Burton's works and letters extensively criticized colonial policies of the British Empire, to the detriment of his career. He was a prolific and erudite author and wrote numerous books and scholarly articles about subjects including human behaviour, travel, falconry, fencing, sexual practices and ethnography. A characteristic feature of his books is the copious footnotes and appendices containing remarkable observations and information.[citation needed] Burton was a captain in the army of the East India Company, serving in India (and later, briefly, in the Crimean War). Following this, he was engaged by the Royal Geographical Society to explore the east coast of Africa and led an expedition guided by the locals and was the first European to see Lake Tanganyika. In later life, he served as British consul in Fernando Pó, Santos, Damascus and, finally, Trieste. He was a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and was awarded a knighthood (KCMG) in 1886.[citation needed] [more]
