Das Buch vom Süden

André Heller's bestseller - now in paperback Julian Passauer is a diligent devil with a lifelong longing. It is the longing for the South, inherited by the father. Born in Vienna shortly after the Second World War, the son of the Deputy Director of the Art History Museum grew up in the attic of Schönbrunn Castle. A childhood full of understanding, care and kindness, the beauty always in front of eyes, he will pass around Africa on a ship as a young man, study for a time, and finally earn his money as a poker player. His desire for the beautiful, the sublime, will drive him here and there, into these and those arms. Only in an old villa on Lake Garda will he finally find his peace of mind and the women of his life - before it moves him on - to the south
