About This Book

The author recounts late schoolboy years and the first university period, describing lively camaraderie, classroom routines, language-table games, and student pranks at a mountain gymnasium, then a move to a Kottbus boarding school under tutor Dr. Boltze. He recalls strict yet genial teachers, household life with Mrs. Boltze, examination placement, uneasy social influences introduced by privileged classmates, and the reform of the school leadership. Reflections consider how nature, art, and changing circumstances shaped his education and prepared him for adulthood.
