In the organizer's words:

How a bestselling author brings history to life

Peter Prange, author of 26 books, including bestsellers such as "A Family in Germany" and "Our Wonderful Years" - worked as a management consultant before realizing: "Life is too short to waste it making money!" - He then revamped the historical novel, inspired by the fall of the Berlin Wall. He builds history and stories on fact and fiction - and says: "Tears are the best compliment a reader can pay me."

Peter Prange repeatedly focuses on people who lived in times of upheaval, when social values changed radically. Immersing yourself in these lives is particularly enriching in today's world, which is also characterized by new values and old conflicts.
