What happens to love when life ends? Is death, so humble and silent, the very end of love, too? Wherever life goes, death follows. Sometimes it's literal, but sometimes it's just a figure of speech. Grief, change, loss, and fear, all different faces of death, can also be a consequence of love. An expression of it. If you have been in love, even unrequited; if you have lost someone dear to you; if you had to leave your home for a better future; if you believe there is something else after the last breath... then you know some answers. These stories, where reality and fiction collide, want to prove that love and death travel together, more often than we know.

Spouses feud over misplaced inheritance, grandchildren duel for attention, and an unsolicited English cousin stirs up dark, bitter motives for murder. In a world where crises reshape a new family dynamic, was Opa Wolfgang able to protect the ones he loved? Or did he die trying? For in the quaint snowy Alps, a murderer hides in plain sight.

Charlotte Engemann was born on the 13th of June, 2037, 16 years before the outbreak of the Weeping. Her diary was found on the 19th of October, 2113, on an abandoned farm near Winterkasten, a small town in Hesse, Germany. Researchers have restored and translated the worn paper to the best of their abilities, providing a small glimpse of life before and during the Weeping. It is unknown how long Charlotte survived after the outbreak, as no other diaries or pieces of writing have been found, nor were there any signs of a body. ___________________________________ - Restored by Emilian Lang, head researcher of the Herrmann Schutz Institute, 12.07.2113 - - Translated into English by Lukas Werner-Thomson, researcher of the Herrmann Schutz Institute, 03.08.2113 -

The concept of time is mind-bending, fascinating, liberating, terrifying and inevitable. In astronomy, time is also distance. Everything we see is already an image of the past, and the further we look, the older the images. In this poetry collection, time gives us fascinating insights into the past. The capability for temporal evolution, for change, is liberating. Our limited supply of time is terrifying. Yet time is inevitable - an ultimate law of nature that we all must obey.

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.
