A lakeside inn in Bavaria, bizarre guests, and a family entangled over three generations in an unwanted legacy. Josef Bierbichler narrates 100 years of Germany. An epic about war and destruction, old power and new prosperity. In World War I, a hostile bullet first shatters the steel helmet and then the skull of the innkeeper's eldest son. Thus, his younger brother Pankraz must take over the inheritance, who would have preferred to be an artist rather than a tavern keeper. It takes a century storm threatening to blow the house and farm into the lake for Pankraz to become a capable entrepreneur and family man. Unabridged author reading with Josef Bierbichler, 2 mp3 CDs, 12 hours 7 minutes.
