A Whole Life Andreas was born on the threshold of the 20th century and leads a modest life in the heart of the Austrian Alps. He participates in the adventure of the cable cars that open his valley to modernity before being sent to the Eastern Front in the mountains of the Caucasus. Upon his return, geraniums adorned the windows of houses instead of swastikas. It is a poignant portrait of an ordinary man who has no choice but to keep going. A Whole Life seems to be written in the dark blue ink of the mountain streams. This simple and just book enchants and uplifts us. Philippe Chevilley, Les Échos. The writer has the art of making his characters lovable, and the fate of his hero, a simple-hearted man, is unforgettable. One piece of advice: indulge in this little gem and don’t keep it to yourself. Anne Michelet, Version Femina.
