Caspar Hauser: An Account Of An Individual Kept In A Dungeon (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162915982)

""Caspar Hauser: An Account Of An Individual Kept In A Dungeon"" is a non-fiction book written by Anselm von Feuerbach. It tells the story of a mysterious young man named Caspar Hauser, who was found wandering the streets of Nuremberg in the early 19th century. Hauser claimed that he had been kept imprisoned in a dungeon for his entire life, and had never seen the outside world before. Feuerbach, a prominent German jurist and philosopher, was one of the first people to take an interest in Hauser's story. He conducted a series of interviews with Hauser and wrote this book based on his findings. Feuerbach's account of Hauser's life and captivity is both gripping and heartbreaking, and provides a unique insight into the mind of a person who has been deprived of human contact and experience for their entire life. The book also delves into the various theories and speculations surrounding Hauser's origins and captivity. Some believed that he was the illegitimate son of a noble family, while others thought that he was the victim of a sinister plot. Feuerbach himself was convinced that Hauser's captors were members of a secret society who had kept him imprisoned for their own nefarious purposes. ""Caspar Hauser: An Account Of An Individual Kept In A Dungeon"" is a fascinating and thought-provoking book that explores themes of isolation, identity, and the nature of humanity.
