Full Description
Oskar Bachmann always imagined that giving his first lecture would be
the defining moment of his life.
It was, but not in the way he expected...
Growing up a misfit in pre-war Germany, a victim of his father's
beatings, Oskar's love of books is a constant comfort in a world turned
upside-down by conflict.
As a student, as a pilot in the brutal Luftwaffe during the Second World
War, in an unhappy marriage to an English bride, he finds himself returning
over and over to the circumstances of his childhood. What was the source and
cause of his father's mistreatment? Could there have been more to it than he
had once believed?
Little did Oskar know that his first lecture at the University of
Tübingen would ultimately lead to the end of a lifetime of searching... and
finally reveal the figure who had been controlling his life from a distance.
