The SPIEGEL bestseller in a handy format. Gift edition in a small size, printed full linen with a ribbon bookmark. When Finn Adrian joins Tony Webster's class, the two boys quickly become friends. Sex and books are the main topics they engage with, and Tony feels that Adrian is a bit smarter than he is in everything. Even later, after school, the two stay in touch. Until their friendship comes to an abrupt end. Forty years later, Tony, who has a marriage, a amicable separation, and a career behind him, is at peace with himself. However, a letter from a lawyer, connected to an inheritance, suddenly raises doubts about the supposedly secure facts of his own biography. The more Tony learns, the more uncertain his experiences seem, and the more unpredictable the consequences for his future become.
