Cees Nooteboom has been on the move his entire life. His home is the world. Wide awake and imaginative, he collects encounters, cities, and landscapes, and "enchants whatever he touches." The breviary compiled by Rüdiger Safranski from the novels, stories, poems, and travel essays of his longtime friend is now available in an expanded edition for the book fair focus on the Netherlands and Flanders, reaching into his latest publications. It has become a reading book for Nooteboom fans and newcomers alike, a breviary for searching and finding, getting to know and rediscovering. It paints a fascinating portrait of a life-wise nomad between times and worlds, as curious as ever, because "one must have lived and must not stop doing so.".
