Life is a pétanque court. Those who don’t believe this should sit in front of the Café de Pescadore on a hot July afternoon or immerse themselves in Manfred Siebald's meditative and humorous reflections! He has come to love the game of pétanque in Corsica and has discovered both astonishing and amusing parallels over time: to our everyday life, to human interactions, to the course of history, and to the ancient truths of the Bible. For those who engage in the game of pétanque, it holds many surprising life lessons. Wolfram Heidenreich has illustrated Manfred Siebald's discoveries under the southern sun with striking black-and-white photographs. A removable booklet of the game rules in pocket format invites you to take it along and browse through it!.
