Humble Anecdotes of the Invisible Ken Evans

'Humble Anecdote of the Invisible' is the final part of my condensed 'Lebenswelt Studies', necessarily autobiographical, and centred mostly on what amounted to a 'mesocosm' -an intermediary spiritual -world, between the macrocosm and microcosm, by artists, thinkers, poets and dancers who founded an experimental community, the 'Hill of Truth' in Ascona, during the early onset of Modernism, and later at Eronos, the intellectual and aesthetic hub founded by Olga Frobe in Ascona in 1933, to discuss the most pressing issues of the times: the nature of body and soul, social norms, religious belief, relationships, value of life, the human spirit, art and creativity; and their eventual making of an alternative spiritual and intellectual history of the twentieth century.
