Beer, sofa, football - an average life. Suddenly, however, Death himself appears at the door and announces that this life will be over in three minutes. So far, so predictable. What was not predictable, and even less planned, however, was that at that exact moment his ex-girlfriend Sophia would knock on the door. A mistake in the operational process. From now on, fatefully chained together, a spectacular journey through life begins for the man, Sophia and Death. Past bars, motels and special people, their witty and touching road trip takes them further and further back to their previous lives and ever closer to the question: Is it better to burn out than to fade away?

Felix Krull sees the world as a stage and wants to live life to the fullest. He grew up in a small town in the Rheingau region. His father was an unsuccessful sparkling wine producer who drove the family to ruin and then took his own life. Felix – the lucky one – sets out into the wide world to escape poverty. Through his godfather, Schimmelpreester, he finds a job in a luxury hotel in Paris. There, he becomes very good at saying what people want to hear. He is what he seems. He is authentic through deception and an expert at marketing himself. A projection figure for all desires.

Confessions of the Impostor Felix Krull

Even as a child, Eddy Bellegueule felt that he would have difficulty living up to the expectations of those around him. His world was a small village in Picardy, northern France, and his upbringing in a working-class family was marked by poverty, violence, and social exclusion. Eddy's perceived feminine behavior made him an outsider long before he discovered his own homosexuality, and the constant rejection from his peers and lack of acceptance from his family weighed heavily on him. Despite the adverse circumstances, Eddy sought ways to escape his surroundings and find his own identity. Édouard Louis's autofictional debut novel tells the story of escaping an oppressive childhood in unsparing, explicit imagery and with almost sociological precision.
