Für Polina – Takis Würger erzählt die Liebesgeschichte des Jahres

In the organizer's words:

"Takis Würger is probably one of the most important authors of our time" - with these words Joël Dicker praises Takis Würger for his literary work ("Der Club", "Stella)". The success of his previous novels is now followed by Für Polina: Würger tells the tender story of fourteen-year-old Hannes Prager and his great love. As proof of his affection, the boy composes a melody that brings out all facets of Polina's nature. Shortly afterwards, his mother dies. Her sudden death also extinguishes Hannes' passion for music, and he also loses sight of Polina. A long-lasting emptiness spreads through Hannes - and the only way to heal it seems to be to find his childhood sweetheart again. To do this, however, he must revive the long-silenced melody. Takis Würger writes beautifully and tragically about the gentle sound of longing. Moderated by: Anne Burgmer
