This work 'appears to be a fictionalised version of his experiences as a young migrant. Australia teaches him the value of work. As with most narratives of exotic adventures, the reader's longing for a distant world is reassured by confirmation of home truths. German virtues have to be practised all ove rthe globe....Himmelssturmer...records various work experiences in Australia. Australia is described as an extension of Germany, albeit in a strange environment...The report throws interesting light on early German-Australian literary relations at popular level.' (Jurg).
