Summary/Abstract: Handke's novel as an interdisciplinary model exceeds the framework of the literature’s genre. It depicts how the personal, individual memory's “time-gate” is connected to the greater group-senses memory organism. The reader has a uniquely fine tuned picture under a micro-historical magnification about the otherwise hardly specifiedspiritual and intellectual region where the individual and group sense memories are getting touch with each other. The title of the novel refers to the endeavour of the ontological experience of discovery and uncovering. While the adventurer is travelling around the land of his ancestors and relatives remembering apparently disappeared ages that are subsequently evoked as present tense again. Handke’s book based on the complexity of his view might be recommended only not as literature, but also as a history and philosophy methodological reference or guide. He connects the ‘anamnesis’ of Plato that apparently exists only within personal dimensions with the concept of national. The core of the mythical dimension of national group-senses works similarly as the holiness conceals an overture beyond time that is connected to the divine. This is the source of the ancient fount that manifests in space as homeland, the “location” of the motherland and the in the logos as the conceptual emanation of the holiness the mothertongue. Meanwhile the different national substances connected to the angelic pattern beyond time and fit into each other, might present in the same time with parallel temporo-spatial distribution in the same natural-historical scene.
