Inselwelt. Zweiter Band. Australische Skizzen. / Gesammelte Erzählungen.

The collection gathers sketches and short narratives set on Australian frontiers, depicting life on remote islands, in the bush, and at goldfields. Episodes examine escaped convicts, mounted policing and tracking expeditions, settlers' struggles to secure land and flocks, and encounters with Indigenous inhabitants. Several pieces provide practical detail about survival, law enforcement, and the local economy, while others present adventurous island or mining incidents. The tone mixes reportage and adventure, often relaying firsthand recollections or portraits of figures engaged in pursuit, travel, and everyday frontier labor.
