Vom Wasser

The dramatic story of a paper mill dynasty - tells us about one who, as if magically attracted, always returns to the water. Before our eyes this man resurrects the portraits of his ancestral gallery. He remembers the summer scenes of his childhood and imagines how it could have been: Back in the last century, when the great-great-grandfather discovered on his estate between the rivers Orpe and Diemel how water could be turned into paper and paper into money; back then, when the son of the baroque company founder, with his sober understanding of numbers, calculated and saved the factory through the first war; back then, when the traditional history of the first-born factory owners threatened to come to an end with the next war and a director turned to the muses. At that time, when a woman brought the temporary rescue. §John von Düffel, erfo.
