The phrase "Reading is like traveling" comes from Willi Fährmann. As a child, he was not fortunate enough to travel in reality. They were not wealthy, at most they had many children. But where money is lacking, imagination can also become a good travel guide. Thus, Willi Fährmann's stories from the not always good old days are equally journeys into the past. Wrapping history in stories, so that the past does not fade into oblivion, is an art that few master as well as Willi Fährmann. Who from the younger generation still knows that newspaper, tucked under a coat, keeps you warm in winter? Certainly - today there are computers that store data and facts, but someone has to pass them on first - better yet: someone has to tell the stories of what was. Because one thing is certain: dates are quickly forgotten, but stories that are passed on are not easily forgotten.
