Telegramm aus der Zukunft. Tilla Durieux damals und heute. Lesung & Gespräch mit Till Breitung

Till Breitung presents the novel "Telegram from the Future", published by Nicolai Verlag.

A bold experiment takes us into the life of the actress Tilla Durieux and lets us participate in the drama of her marriage to the art dealer Paul Cassirer. Her struggle against the dictates of the Wilhelmine understanding of art and a mysterious prophecy from the future cause Tilla Durieux's life to fall apart at the seams.

Till Breitung was born in 1966 in Berlin, where he now lives and works. He studied economics at the FU. In 1994 he went to the United States, where he worked in Los Angeles in the foreign office of the Axel Springer publishing house. After three years in the USA, he designed the corporate communications of several IT companies in Germany. In 2004, he founded his own PR agency. Writing corporate texts and specialist articles, and later inventing stories for his son, awakened in him the desire to become a writer himself. Breitung is fascinated by biographies of classical modern artists.
