The books

A stranger tries to save a despairing man from suicide. Nobody knows where the enigmatic stranger comes from, his name or history. He rants that modern societies have turned themselves into a global hospice. With a fascinating rhetoric he begins to engage followers in order to sell dreams. While charming people and releasing them from the bondage of routine, he also makes many enemies. Is he an authority or just an insane unknown? A novel that will make you laugh and cry, but above all, think.
