Epilogue

In 1957 the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first Earth satellite. This event shook the Western World and was called the Sputnik Crisis. It made the US-Congress pass the National Defence Education Act, pouring billions of dollars into their education system.

40 years later in 1997, unnoticed by the British Government and public, an unknown German writer launched his English book Apprecihated World, which 15 years later was followed by his main work The Literary Battle of Britain. The author himself describes his modest last volume as a milestone in modern European literature and sees himself as being in the vanguard of those German and European writers that are set on conquering one of the most important bastions of British society: the British Sense of Humour itself. Since it is believed that large parts of British society lack sufficient knowledge of the modern post war German culture and the German language a major counter offensive into the German cultural heartland is not expected. It takes more than just a stiff upper lip to win this intercultural battle. But then, as the British say: The proof of the pudding is in the eating!

We are anxious to know whether the British will invite us to eat that pudding with them on their own battlefields at home or are brave enough to eventually venture out to feed it to the German lion in its den.
