A journey into the long century of utopias 1883-2020 // A book presentation with Peter Neumann

Everything begins with a tremendous bang: The eruption of the volcano Krakatau in 1883 is like a symbol for the tremendous power of utopian energies that will be discharged in the long 20th century. Nietzsche's "Übermensch," the idea of limitless progress and the revolutionary art of Käthe Kollwitz, Freud's conquest of the unconscious and the shattered dream of the end of history - Peter Neumann masterfully brings all of this to life in scenes, stories and portraits and invites us on a captivating journey through time to the fire country of utopias that continue to fascinate us today and never let go.
