About the book
At the very bottom of the lamp post, where everyone pees and it stinks the most, furthest away from the light, is where Sören's childhood in post-war Germany begins.
As a dreamer and late developer, education gives him a wide berth.
Only his naivety, curiosity and resilience protect him from worse and help him to find a place in society despite a bad start in life. After he finished the auxiliary school with aches and pains, he then successfully completed an apprenticeship as a painter. But he also discovered other sides of life, such as social injustices and, above all, the opposite sex…
An authentic insight into post-war Germany in all its facets: war invalids, the social struggle for survival and awakening, as well as free love.
