Context

“It might very well be that literally every word in the history books, even the things that one accepted without question, was pure fantasy. For all he knew there might never have been any such law as the jus primae noctis, or any such creature as a capitalist, or any such garment as a top hat.
Everything faded into mist. The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became truth. Just once in his life he had possessed —after the event: that was what counted —concrete, unmistakable evidence of an act of falsification. He had held it between his fingers for as long as thirty seconds.” source
