- Description: Reinhardt (Harry) and Edgar Cebulla, cousins from Gleiwitz in Upper Silesia, undertook in the late 1920s a journey with the so-called “Curry-Landskiff,” a bicycle design inspired by Manfred Curry. According to Reinhardt’s diary they departed on May 25, 1927 from Gleiwitz, today Gliwice in Poland. This was not a world tour but rather a trip across Germany and parts of Central Europe during the Weimar Republic. The diary recounts the anticipation of the new bicycle, training rides with cousin Edgar, and visits to towns and sites, some of which were later lost or transformed by war. The book also discusses Manfred Curry’s technical innovations and reflects on the concept of “world travelers” at that time, a notion very different from today

- Description: Candide is a character created by Voltaire, the pen name of François-Marie Arouet, in his famous novel of the same name published in 1759. Candide is a young naive man who is educated in the philosophy of optimism by Pangloss, his tutor. However, Candide's experiences lead him to question this optimistic view of the world. Through a series of tumultuous and often comedic adventures, Candide travels the world, encountering characters from all walks of life and facing challenging situations. The character of Candide represents human naivety and the desire to find happiness in a world that is often cruel and disillusioned

Meanwhile, all the travellers whom Candide met in the inns along his route, said to him, "We go to Paris." This general eagerness at length gave him, too, a desire to see this capital; and it was not so very great a détour from the road to Venice. He entered Paris by the suburb of St. Marceau, and fancied that he was in the dirtiest village of Westphalia.
