| Summary |
"Geld und Erfahrung" by Max Eyth is a semi-autobiographical narrative written in the early 20th century. The work recounts the author's extensive life experiences as an engineer who travels through various countries, primarily focusing on America and Egypt, to introduce innovative agricultural machinery. It offers readers a glimpse into the author's adventures and observations about different cultures and economic practices, viewed through a humorous and engaging lens. At the start of the book, we learn about Max Eyth's determination to succeed as he seeks to introduce steam plows to America after his time in Egypt. The narrative introduces his interactions with various characters, including a colonel and an Englishman, who provide a backdrop of both camaraderie and caution regarding business dealings in the New World. Eyth's initial challenges in establishing himself in a foreign land, coupled with humorous anecdotes, set the tone for a journey marked by mishaps, learning experiences, and the contrast between his engineering ambitions and the vibrant chaos of post-Civil War America.
