Abstract
Everyone who is going to take part in a collection of reminiscences faces some difficulties. What should be dwelt on? What is unreasonable or uninteresting to describe? How can one avoid sliding into a presentation of one’s own biography? How can one be sure that one’s memory has not played a trick? Obviously, only after having tried to write something can one see how difficult it is to find correct answers to these questions.
