Life in between

"Living in Between" by Erna Käppeli is an impressive literary exploration of Mongolia, a country marked by its breathtaking beauty and profound social changes. This book tells the stories of people living between tradition and modernity. Käppeli, who has visited the country multiple times, gives a voice to the protagonists to share their experiences and challenges in a changing society. The narratives illuminate the conflicts arising from the influence of capitalism and Western values, and show how people strive to preserve their identity and cultural heritage in a new reality. The portraits are not only a window into the Mongolian soul but also a reflection on the pursuit of happiness and self-fulfillment in a complex world.
