since Lehndorff isn‘t a historian but has actually lived through it, it‘s doubly interesting that he sees it that way.
Agreed! And yes, he seems to be saying that the times that are filled with giants are *not* necessarily the times that are most comfortable to live in as a normal person.
Heinrich‘s letter „pretending the last twelve years didn‘t happen“ letter to Ferdinand includes the self aware „having illusions about the past“.
