Gute Tage

Roger Willemsen was lucky enough to meet some great figures of contemporary history at a turning point in their lives and sometimes spend days, even weeks with them, sometimes in amazing places. In the literary portraits that have emerged after these encounters, the view of those "larger-than-life" people is always personal, at times intimate, sometimes even intimate, and finally, from the sum of observations, conversations and thoughts, almost an overall picture of man - his possibilities and limitations - peels off. The personalities described here - pop stars and politicians, scientists, actors and others - are united by the fact that they have redefined what is humanly possible and uniquely interpreted their role in public. Willemsen's portraits, in turn, combine their author's gift for seeing more deeply and promoting insights that are not only important for the public, but also for the public at large.
