It is never too late for a new beginning

Max seems to be on the sunny side of life. Education, school, studies, marriage prepare him precisely to one day run his father's successful company. He seems to succeed effortlessly in everything until a rumour emerges that destroys what he believed in all his life. Was fate just playing with him? Was the course of his life preordained? Or was everything that happened subject to chance? Even though he has lost everything that was dear to him, he wants to make at least one last decision himself. But then rescue comes from a side he did not expect.Helme Heine, world-famous author and illustrator, and Gisela von Radowitz tell Max's story as a great parable of our lives: When is it in our hands and when is it the other way around? Lively narrated, with lightness, humour and philosophical depth, the novel feeds on the experiences of a long, rich life.
