Occasionally, very rarely, there are books that are like songs. One wants to place their eye back at the beginning of the first page, just as one would set the needle back to the start of a record. And "Auerhaus" is exactly such a book. Robert Stadlober. Six friends and a promise: Their lives should not be filed away in folders labeled Birth - School - Work - Death. Therefore, they move into Auerhaus together. A student shared apartment in the countryside - unheard of. But they want not only to save their own lives but especially that of their best friend Frieder. Because he is not so sure why he should even live at all. Bov Bjerg tells a gripping and empathetic story of love, friendship, and six idealists whose creativity is nothing less than self-defense against the status quo. Their struggle for happiness is also a fight for life and death.
