Luca Pellarin is going to present a working paper on 'First Impressions of Overbeck. An introductory “portrait”'

Since Franz C. Overbeck (1837-1905) is a new subject of study for me, the aim of this paper is to provide the reader and myself with an introduction to him. Because of the nature of this work as closely resembling a draft, this text will not be included in my final dissertation. It consists of some collected material, which I tried to shape. The main “plot” is accompanied by the German theologian’s words on the meaning of life. The paper ends therefore with the English translation of a passage of Overbeck, which was written between 1902 and 1905.
