Ein feiner Herr und ein armer Hund

He is a refined gentleman who wears expensive shoes, a flâneur in the streets of Paris. One evening, when a dog jumps from a burning house directly into his arms, it marks the beginning of a wonderful friendship. The dog, who came to France with refugees from Africa, leads Mulder to the undocumented and homeless, introduces the cleanliness fanatic to the smells of the suburbs, and allows the lonely art lover to make unexpected acquaintances. A moving novel about a world that is irrevocably splitting in two.
