Freier Fall

While an astronaut drifts alone through the infinity of space as the sole survivor, a lonely ant struggles through life without the support of its colony, and a reclusive man reflects on his lifelong search for something that continually slips through his fingers. A thought-provoking novel about life, love, loneliness, hope, and the inevitable end that awaits us all.

That jumps like thrown pebbles and hurls sparkling sparks into the morning, water – moist, cool, shimmering. And above all: earthly. He longed for the hidden springs deep within, which invisibly nourished the planet, allowed plants to sprout, and moistened the velvety dark moss cushions that provided a home for frogs, birds, and insects… and above it all, a radiant blue sky, vast and cool, as if polished from delicate, illuminated glass.

“A plunge into infinity, a journey from birth to end, and a profound excursion through the inner cosmos.” (René Moreau, EXODUS Magazine).
