Abstract
In his latest novel Cox oder Der Lauf der Zeit (2016), Christoph Ransmayr, best known for his Ovid-pastiche Die letzte Welt (1988), depicts eighteenth Century China. While the famous English clockmaker James Cox (1723–1800) is at its centre, the book is not a historical novel, but rather a piece of fanciful fiction, based on facts, about the strategic, political and philosophical significance of time itself.
