The most romantic novel to date by Max Meier-Jobst, the author of the autobiographical “Die sacher MIT Peter”, is based on carefully modernized motifs from the coming of age classic “Le Grand Meaulnes” by Alain-Fournier. The timeless story about first love, great feelings and a deep friendship between boys takes place at the end of the 1990s – exactly a century later than the historical original.
