Under the dragon wall

Veit Kolbe spends a few months at Mondsee, under the dragon wall, and meets two young women here. But Veit is a soldier on vacation, wounded in Russia. What Margot and Margarete share with him is his hope that at some point life will begin again. It's 1944, World War lost, but how long does it last? Arno Geiger tells of Veit's nightmares, of the 'Brazilian' who dreams of returning to Rio de Janeiro, of the strange normality in this village in Austria - and of love. An outstanding novel about the individual and the power of history, about the most personal and the war, about the dead and the survivors.
