Three women - grandmother, daughter and granddaughter - are sitting together at dinner in a cozy apartment in a European city. They talk about their shopping, the upcoming weekend trip and the school work of the youngest, as if they had always lived here. But they only moved into this house a few months ago, where they are known as the Ukrainian "refugees". They describe themselves more as "temporarily displaced persons".
It seems almost inconceivable that the three of them stormed out of the house under a bomb alert or were stuck in a traffic jam at the gates of Europe, on their way to an uncertain future.

Bastian Balthasar Bux is a completely normal boy, or at least that's what he always thought... until one day his whole life changed.
Teased and laughed at by his classmates, he takes refuge after school in Karl Konrad Koreander's antiquarian bookshop. There he discovers a mysterious book entitled
The Neverending Story , which immediately captivates him. As he begins to read, reality around him seems to blur and he is immersed in the
magical realm of Phantásien, which is threatened by "Nothingness". There he learns about the Childlike Empress, who is terminally ill, about the heroic Atreyu, and about Auryn, the symbol of power and wisdom. He also learns that all of Phantásien's hope rests on the shoulders of the young warrior Atreyu, who is to search for a human child. The further he reads, the more Bastian seems to become a part of the story. Is he the one Atreyu is looking for and who holds the fate of this magical world in his hands? That can't be true, he of all people is supposed to be a hero?

The Neverending Story

Even as a child, Eddy Bellegueule felt that he would find it difficult to live up to the expectations of those around him. His world is a small village in Picardy in northern France, and his upbringing in a working-class family is marked by poverty, violence, and social exclusion. Eddy's behavior, which is perceived as feminine, makes him an outsider long before he can discover his own homosexuality, and the constant rejection of his fellow human beings and lack of acceptance from his family weigh heavily on him. Despite the adverse circumstances, Eddy looks for ways to escape his surroundings and find his own identity. Édouard Louis' autofictional debut novel tells the story of escaping an oppressive childhood with ruthlessness and sociological precision.
