Writings: diary of Paul Dienach

I've removed the wikilinking of Paul Amadeus Dienach because it merely redirected back to this article.

More about The "diary" can be found in this Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HgLQGb907s

Long story short –

PAD was supposedly a German language teacher in Athens in the early 1920's, who contracted Encephalitis lethargica and spent a year in a coma. Upon recovering in 1922 he wrote an extensive account of his mind having been temporarily transferred to another man's body in the year 3906. It includes a detailed history of the (World-wide) society of 3906 and the history leading up to it.
On leaving Athens to live in Zurich, he gave this (German-language) account to his favourite pupil Georgios Papachatzis as translation practice material. Papachatzis later published it, one English-language version being Chronicles From the Future: The Amazing Story of Paul Amadeus Dienach: Based on his Diary Pages, Edited by Achilleas Sirigos.
Papachatzis maintained this was all true, and that the original diary had been confiscated during WW2 (because it was in German). However, the circulated photo of "Dienach" is provably a 1908 mugshot of a New Zealand thief, and there are no records of Dienach's existence either in 1920's Athens or later in Switzerland.

The "diary" is (the video suggests) plausibly a work of science fiction, with elements resembling others previously published, and themes congruent with Papachatzis's own social philosophy. Sadly, it seems so far little known to the Science-fiction community (something which I may try to remedy after I've obtained and read a copy). {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.208.90.55 (talk) 14:55, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
