A book like a rush. The story of a triple journey: to Greece, to a magical island, and into philosophy. "Six years ago, I stood before the ruins of the ancient Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion, gazing out at the Aegean Sea. Nearly a century and a half ago, Baker Hans arrived on the strange island in the Atlantic. And exactly two hundred years ago, Frode shipwrecked on his way from Mexico to Spain. I have to go back this far to understand why Mom ran away to Athens..." This is the story of a triple journey: a real one to Greece, a fantastic one to a magical island, and a mental one into philosophy. "This rush has two advantages: First, it is suitable for readers aged 12 to 100. But even more essential seems to be the second point: The result of this kind of intoxication is a gain in perspective.".
