Samota – Die Einsamkeit wohnte im Zimmer gegenüber.

At the beginning, there is a piercing silence, but the bubbling has already begun. Maja’s research into the eruption of a volcano comes to a standstill. At the same time, a congress on the “regulation of animal populations” is taking place in her hotel and sinister characters are cavorting around her. At the heart of Samota is empathy and the question of why so many people lack it or have lost it. A mysterious, playful book with noir elements and magical realism.
In a second time level, Sebastian clashes with the dark hunter Mészáros, and it’s a matter of life and death. And the slightly quirky and over-the-top Helga-Maria appears to be a mediator and wanderer between the times. How is all this connected?
