At a time when history still made its way slowly, the few events were easily remembered and woven into a backdrop. known to everyone, before which private life unfolded the gripping show of its adventures. Nowadays, time moves forward at a rapid pace. Forgotten overnight, a historic event glistens the next day like the morning dew and thus is no longer the backdrop to a narrator's tale nut rather an amazing adventure enacted against the background of the over-familiar banality of private life.
