Hans Werner Richter, alive as yesterday - Stories from Bansin

“History of the Beach: It wasn't until the town was founded in 1897 that the beach gained its significance. It became a bathing beach. Its history can be divided into three periods. The first period was that of bathing establishments, the second was that of open-air bathing, and the third was that of mixed nude and open-air bathing.
Quote from Stories from Bansin by Hans Werner Richter, p. 15, lines 11-15, first edition 1970, published by Wagenbach Verlag

Listen to Richter's novel, read by Dr. Ute van der Maer, who, like Richter, has close ties to her homeland.
