Die noch leben

Teo lives with his family on the outskirts of the Spanish city of Cartagena. His father, Abel, runs a transportation company for cattle. Teo, a committed vegan, constantly argues with him about gender roles, politics, alcohol consumption, or simply what is served on the dinner table at home. When the opportunity arises to organize the transport of 900 cattle to the Middle East, Abel sees the deal of a lifetime. For animal rights activist Teo, his father's decision is unbearable. But before he can really do anything, events spiral out of control: due to a travel ban in Turkey, the freighter carrying the cattle aimlessly drifts through the Mediterranean for months, and then Teo's girlfriend Isa disappears without a trace. While Abel tries to save his dwindling money with each passing day of the misadventure, and Teo's friends attempt to free the animals on board, Teo desperately searches for his missing girlfriend. A gripping novel about the conflicts between generations—and how differently our moral beliefs can be.
