flood of paper

Oft, zu Ende des Tages, habe ich mich mit Janine über die Weltauffassung Flauberts unterhalten in ihrem Büro, in dem solche Mengen von Vorlesungsnotizen, Briefen und Schriftstücken jeder Art herumlagen, daß man meinte, mitten in einer Papierflut zu stehen.
Many a time, at the end of a working day. Janine would talk to me about Flaubert's view of the world, in her office where there were such quantities of lecture notes, letters and other documents lying around that it was like standing amidst a flood of paper.
