Der Eisbär und die Hoffnung auf morgen

The great novel by John Ironmonger based on the No. 1 SPIEGEL bestseller "The Whale and the End of the World." A small village in Cornwall, a polar bear, and an extraordinary bet about our future. On Midsummer's Eve, a fateful wager about the future takes place in the cozy pub of a tiny fishing village in Cornwall, between a student and a politician. Will the 307 residents of the village soon feel the consequences of what the world still turns a blind eye to? Will the politician's house be swallowed by the sea in 50 years? John Ironmonger tells the story of the most urgent task of our time, of a journey to the Arctic, of two destinies intertwined, and ultimately of the big question: Can opponents become allies when it comes to our collective future?
