Richard Wild Knihy

The journey of Friedrich Will, who emigrated from Europe to the United States in 1819 at the age of twenty-two, serves as the foundation for this gripping novel. Inspired by the author's great-great grandfather's true story, it chronicles Will's adventurous travels across the Atlantic and through America. This narrative not only highlights the immigrant experience but also appeals to enthusiasts of American history, offering a vivid portrayal of the challenges and hopes of those seeking a new life.

Set against the backdrop of July 1914, the narrative follows Captain Andreas Ott and his crew as they navigate the complexities of World War I. While they avoid direct combat, they confront enemy ships and experience the far-reaching effects of global conflict. Their logbook raises profound questions about authority and enmity, as they grapple with their mission and the essence of humanity amidst chaos. The story explores the tension between duty and moral clarity during a tumultuous time in history, seeking meaning in a world turned upside down by war.

In Richard Wilds Erstlingsroman wird die düstere Vorstellung thematisiert, dass Mord unbemerkt bleibt. Das absurde Mörderstück bietet Anspielungen auf Medizin, Behörden und den Literaturbetrieb und basiert auf wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen zu unentdeckten Morden in Deutschland. Ein schwäbischer Alb-Traum.
