| Summary |
"Lingam: Zwölf asiatische Novellen" by Max Dauthendey is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The stories delve into themes of love, loss, and the rich cultural tapestry of Asian life, exploring significant and often spiritual symbols such as the Lingam, which epitomizes the union of male and female energies in Indian mythology. At the start of the collection, the author introduces the symbol of the Lingam through a poetic meditation, vividly linking it to the sacred rituals and traditions of India. The first novella, "Dalar rächt sich," unfolds in a bustling street in Bombay, focusing on Dalar, a man whose life is steeped in betrayal and revenge after discovering his wife's infidelity. The narrative weaves through details of the vibrant daily life of Bombay, encapsulating the atmosphere as Dalar contemplates his dark plans for retribution, setting the stage for the tumultuous emotional journeys that define the characters throughout the book.
