The book "The Other Side" by Alfred Kubin's more than just a 100 year old novel. I am racking my head to what I should consider the larger context of this book.
The unit delivered and powerlessness of the individual against the social order? Even if one person in the book, apparently is the determining authority, we can draw parallels to the current time. The mystical forced to make certain actions as portrayed in the book could be, interpreted as an essential use of the public authorities. The bureaucratic institutions, which extend as a power tool in each house to be in the book to a invisible all overshadowing power.
I know this alone is the final sentence of the book purports, "The Demiurge is a hybrid." Towards a different interpretation, however, the above associations have personally come to me while reading the book first to mind. Moreover, it seems as if the book the "evil" will prevail and apart from the proclamation of a "good" fantasy state, remains of the "good" not much left. While there are obvious opponent, but you can neither one nor the other really assign a good side. The bad outweighs fit and thus to the approaching and slowly executive In response, which spreads over almost the entire second half of the book.
Especially in a work that is highly expressionistic, should have I hit probably the varied interpretations more intellectual capital. Perhaps the time is not ripe or the mind is already so jaded, so that even extraordinary things are not able to stimulate him.
