Primal Visions

This extract was very interesting as Mr. Hoffman was very strange. I see him as being different from an average human being. His hallucinations put into writing impacted the world of poetry and literature, changing views on books. There were a series of events that had taken place in Hoffman's life that changed his life forever. One specific topic in his life was the holocaust, where Adolf Hitler was known as ruler of the kingdom of Germany. In this extract, he was called "Wolf", and to Hoffman, the thought that the period of the holocaust was the end of the world (followed by the bombing from the Italian Air Force, which was referred in many of his books). With his dreams and ions, that would therefore cause him to think. These dreams and theories of him leaned over then to Greek and Japanese mythology, from Zen mysticism to Philosophical musings. It then left him to being nihilistic, meaning that he rejected all religions, religious beliefs and moral principles; he only thought that life was meaningless. That is what led him to writing these surreal rhapsodies that changed the world of poetry.
