Each of us makes mistakes. Sometimes we make too radical decisions or offend people very close to us. But each of us has a great advantage - we all know how to forgive. And it is this ability that makes us human. This book will not teach you how to forgive, but it will show you how important it is. This book is written in two languages, because it is important for the author to spread her work also in her native language.

BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

There are over 280 million immigrants in the world - more than 10 million in Germany alone. For many, home is one of the most complicated words in existence. Through real stories and Augmented Reality, this book offers a glimpse into the life of an immigrant defined by political and socio-economic unrest, growing hostility, and the weight of being an Ausländer. Possibly forever. This story isn't just mine; it's that of friends, colleagues, and strangers I've encountered and interviewed on this journey - real people with real experiences. From the crushing bureaucracy that reduces you to a mere number to the deep longing for a home that may never love you back, these tales are about more than just moving abroad. They capture the essence of finding your place in a world that doesn't trust you. Whether you're flipping through pages or immersing yourself in the interactive content, you'll experience the highs, lows, and deeply human moments of those who dare to dream of belonging.

I make a game of it. To invent stories about the most normal-looking people I see, because I know for a fact that everyone has a story and even though I might never get to hear them all, they get to live it everyday, their silent tale. This one is for all the people we see each day, that we put in categories, let our predjudices get the best of us, and make them out to be someone else entirely. This one is for taking the time to realize the beautiful variety of people we can see out there, with all the possibilities of lives they could lead. This one is for the little mistery that is the strangers we see each day.
