Der Wal und das Ende der Welt

The Book of the Hour, a wonderful Christmas novel that gives hope. A small village. An epidemic and a global crisis. And a great story about humanity. “Adventurous and moving.” Stern “This novel gives you back your faith in humanity.” Elle First a young man washes up, and then the whale runs aground. The three hundred and seven residents of the fishing village of St. Piran immediately sense that something strange begins here. But nobody suspects how existentially their community is threatened. Like the whole country. And maybe the whole world. Because everything is related to everything.

John Ironmonger tells a compelling story of what holds us together as humanity. And asks the important questions: Do we know enough about the interrelationships of our globalized world? And how can we act well when everything is at stake?
