Hans Henny Jahnn's modernist novel "River Without Shores" (Part I: "The Wooden Ship") is a unique phenomenon of 20th-century world literature—it explores the formation and decline of the human personality, memory and creative imagination, and the voices that live within us. It has been translated into Russian for the first time by one of the finest translators from German, Tatyana Baskakova. "The Wooden Ship" is an overture to the "River Without Shores" trilogy, in which all the facts are simultaneously real and symbolic. The novel unfolds an ancient metaphor of human life as a dangerous voyage. A young man hides aboard a departing ship to be with his fiancée, the captain's daughter, during a strange voyage with an unknown destination and suspicious cargo. The girl suddenly disappears, and the shocked young man undertakes the hopeless task of exploring the labyrinthine ship and his own consciousness.
