»Sprache ohne Worte« ist der Höhepunkt von Peter A. Levines Lebenswerk. Trauma ist weder eine Krankheit noch eine Störung. Vielmehr handelt es sich dabei um eine Verletzung, verursacht durch lähmende Furcht und Gefühle von Hilflosigkeit und Verlust.

Nobody ever needed it. For the whole of human existence before the sixteenth century, our species got along on honey, fruit, and the occasional raided hive, and no one recorded the deprivation. Then, in the space of a few generations, a substance with no nutritional argument in its favor became the single most valuable commodity crossing the Atlantic Ocean, and the largest forced migration in recorded history was organized to supply it. The crop was not cotton. It was dessert.

They called it Sunday. Solan Vale was seventeen, in a drainage cut behind a reservoir fence in New Jersey, when he smoked something that had been sprayed with something else. For ninety seconds he understood that he was not walking east. The ground was going west underneath him, and he was the only thing in the frame that was not moving. It was not a hallucination.

Then it faded, and he was fine for nine years.

We talk about privacy the way we talk about clean air: as something we once had in abundance and are now carelessly using up. The historical record tells a stranger story. For most of the human past there were no corridors, no locks worth the name, no envelopes, no curtains, and no expectation whatsoever that a person might pass an evening unobserved. Privacy was not stolen from our ancestors. It was built, slowly and expensively, out of chimneys, plaster, cheap glass, sealing wax, and a set of manners that taught people to pretend they had not heard.
