Page 21 of Werner Hertzog's memoir that shows the paragraph:

It was only in stag mating season that we really had to be careful. A bicyclist was set upon by a furious stag and fled under a narrow bridge, pursued by the crazed animal. It took the clashing of some empty tin cans to drive him off. There were some eerie encounters Once, in broad daylight-my brother is my witness-the whole slope behind the house was suddenly alive with weasels, all pouring down-hill in the direction of the stream. I don't think it was a dream, al-though it's always a possibility. We had sometimes seen the odd one or two, but this must have been dozens. Lemmings are given to these mass movements, but never in my life did I hear of anything like this ascribed to weasels. A few of them fled between the logs of a woodpile, and I went looking for them but couldn't find a single one. The surroundings were full of puzzles. On the far side of the stream, on the way to the village, there was a lofty forest of spruce, the so-called Fairy Forest that we were leery of going in. In a tight gorge behind the house was a waterfall with a pool partway down before it plunged into the river that was always full of clear water that was as cold as ice. Occasionally, tree trunks came down it, and that gave the spot some aura of jungle. I saw Sturm Josef-Sepp, we called him-bathing stark naked and scrubbing himself all over with a brush made from some root. He didn't seem to be a human figure...

@nichorra @bookstodon It reads like one of my first drafts 🤣

Looks like a pretty amateur scan job. Do you want to do something with it? ScanTailor Advanced might be able to straighten it out...I've never tried it on something this wonky.

@nichorra @bookstodon What book is this?

@aburtch @nichorra @bookstodon

sounds like Every Man for Himself and God Against All -- i listened to the audio book, it's a wild ride!
