Lebenskunst...oder wie ich das Fürchten verlernte

In her autobiography, Paula Mairhofer draws a connection from the ruins of the post-war era to postmodernity, from her childhood in a Franconian village to many countries, cultures, and people, from the rigor of monastic education to the true freedom of a Christian. She sensitively engages with the charged themes of home and foreignness, career and family happiness, of inevitable fate and freedom of choice. She shares stories from an exciting life that leave a lasting impression on the reader.
