The girl wanders through the world. She is seeking help. But the wolf and the strong bull are also at a loss. So they go together to the great woman. She has no help either. But since they are now four, they don’t need any more. Instead, they travel to Paris, celebrate Christmas, and attend a masquerade ball. They share stories with each other and occasionally reflect on everything. Jürg Schubiger's tales have always had a deeper meaning and a double layer. In this small novel, drawing from the experiences of a long life, the world comes together into a whole, seemingly effortlessly told philosophy: about life, in which those who are alone are helpless, and which is always only here and finite - because if it were everywhere and eternal, it would be all too easy to miss. Jutta Bauer has portrayed the girl, the wolf, the bull, and the great woman in impressive archetypes.
