Searching for a story. Please help me

[khayman]

Hello
I'm Fernando, a spanish guy. Sorry for write in english but i don't know german. I'm searching for a german or austrian story. It takes place in Popocatepetl volcano, also called Popo, in Mexico and the main charapter is austrian. I don't have more clues, but is for a present for a friend and is all the information i could get. I was searching by myself last week in internet but i think is quit difficult without knowin german language. I know there is one mexican legend about Popocatepetl and Ixtaccihuatl, but is not the one i am searching. I would greatly apreciate if someone could help me.
thank you anyway
Fernando

Do you mean Homo Faber, by Max Frisch?

Thank you so much for answer me. I have been searching "Homo Faber" and i didn´t find that it takes place in Popocatepetl volcano. This volcano is from Puebla, Mexico. The story is one that the mother of my friend told her when she was young. I think it has to be some kind of bedtime story. But I´ve only found the mexican legend, not the one with a austrian main character

Hab keine Ahnung.
Aber vllt. ist auch Malcolm Lowrys
"Unter dem Vulkan"
gemeint....?


Den homo faber (wäre was für cdp!) kann ich hier nur im zweiten Teil entdecken.
Aber wie gesagt:

Englisch kann ich nicht...

The only story which could fit the "Oesterreicher" (resp. "Oesterreicherin") and the volcano is "Raubmenschen" by Max Dauthendey. But it seems to be a novel rather than a short story.

Not Homo Faber then. The guy in there is Swiss, anyway.
