Abendländliche Paradoxa

"Abendländliche Paradoxa" by Lorenz Maria von Schaffenburg, 1928, Ichtion Hellblau Verlag, Behren-Lübchin, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany, Hardcover, 128 pages, no graphics.
This is an extremely interesting book by the young (and at that time yet unknown) von Schaffenburg, who, of course, went on to write "Didokletionastatis Glomm" which made him famous, rich and led to his death in the duel against Horst von Schaffenburg (a distant cousin).
The book is divided in two fascinating parts: the gripping and compelling "Winning while Losing" and the captivating and intriguing "Losing while Winning".
The reader will become familiar with strategies, tactics, operations, processes and procedures of both these life-policies, schemes and transactions.
What nobody could foresee is the strong and mysterious influence this work would have many years later on the lyrics of Rod Stewart, Rita Pavone and Johnny Legend.
