Can I call you Sam?
I couldn’t find any evidence that Mark Twain was ever in Lüneburg, although he spent a considerable amount of time in Germany. But now he sits next to the river Ilmenau in the middle of town and is open to any kind of discussion you would like to have with him.
What an inspiration an exchange with the man can be!

Out of their element
As I live at least 400km away from any coast I have to rely on old holiday photos and pictorial representations of sea creatures. In all cases, these were “out of their element”.

Lots of angles from three different angles
The central building of the Leuphana university in Lüneburg, Germany, designed by the architect Daniel Libeskind, was completed in 2017.

Innocents abroad
When we came across this fellow, sitting quietly next to the river Ilmenau in Lüneburg, an American who happened to be standing next to me, felt the need to inform me – quite patronizingly – that this was a famous American writer and he wasn’t quite sure whether I might have heard of him. I informed him – equally condescendingly – that I had read most everything that Mr Samuel Longhorne Clemens had written (which is not a lie, his collected works in English and German are amongst my most cherished books). I added “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness.” He recognised the quote and we proceeded to have an interesting conversation about Mark Twain.
