Summary:
"In der Mitte seines Lebens macht der israelische Architekt Skip Landau eine Erfahrung, die er mit niemandem teilen kann: Eine innere Stimme ruft ihn an Orte, wo wenig später eine Katastrophe geschieht - ein Zugunglück in Paris, ein Flugzeugabsturz in Amsterdam. Offenbar soll er einzelne Sterbende auf ihrem schwierigen Weg in den Tod begleiten. Aber was soll, was kann er tun? Nicht viel mehr, als da zu sein und ihnen ein wenig Gesellschaft leisten, stellt er ernüchtert fest. Die Aufgabe, die er sich nicht ausgesucht hat, belastet seine Ehe und lässt die Familie in Tel Aviv fast auseinanderbrechen. Spät versteht er, dass er nicht nur die Sterbenden in den Tod, sondern auch seine Söhne ins Leben führen muss - und sich dazu.

Hackers Roman steht nicht in Beziehung zum Figurenkosmos der vorausgegangenen Romane 'Alix, Anton und die anderen' und 'Die Erdbeeren von Antons Mutter', sondern erschafft eine eigene Welt. Seine Schauplätze sind Paris, Tel Aviv, Amsterdam und Berlin, sein Thema aber ist universal: Wo ist unser Ort auf der Welt, wo ist unser Ort im Leben?"--World Cat
"In the middle of his life, the Israeli architect Skip Landau has an experience he can not share with anyone: An inner voice calls him to places where a catastrophe happens shortly after - a train crash in Paris, a plane crash in Amsterdam. Apparently, he should accompany individual dying on their difficult path to death. But what should he do? What can he do? Not much more than being there and giving them a little company, he states disillusioned. The task he did not choose puts a strain on his marriage and almost breaks apart the family in Tel Aviv. He understands late that he has to lead not only the dying to death, but also his sons to life - and to do so.

Hackers novel is not related to the figurative cosmos of the previous novels 'Alix, Anton and the others' and 'The Strawberries of Anton's mother', but creates a world of its own. His venues are Paris, Tel Aviv, Amsterdam and Berlin, but his theme is universal: Where is our place in the world, where is our place in life?"--Google translate from the German.
