In the mirror of Venus - The audio book

A visually striking and touching novel narrated by Christoph Gaugler.

After a concert by the nine-year-old cellist Armando Hector Ruiz, there is absolute silence in the famous Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, even a quarter of an hour after the music has ended. When the two seasoned cloakroom attendants, Gertrudis and Maria Rosa, cast a bewildered glance into the auditorium, the audience remains frozen in the stillness of a photograph. They have never experienced anything like this – and they are not the only ones...

In his debut novel, internationally celebrated Swiss musician Andreas Vollenweider tells the story of a child prodigy who has the ability to deeply touch and even heal people with his music, using vividly powerful language. However, in his desperate search for explanations for his extraordinary impact and his difficult journey to adulthood, he nearly loses himself. A well-researched narrative about the power of consciousness and imagination, a captivating coming-of-age story, and an exciting road movie all in one.
