Corona # Lahn # German Cycle Tour

What motivated him to write this book, which sketches a number of formative moments in his life, was his fascination with people and nature. Every time we start for a trip, we leave the real world in our homes behind us. We want to forget it while being on the way, want to gain new energy for whatever is awaiting us when being back home again. Since Corona, however, the world looks completely different. Or doesn`t it? Peter Vornberg describes in this book a fictive character, who travels on his bike from one camping ground to another one as a person, who appears to be troubled by problems that are tearing at his soul, but still can enjoy the beautiful things around him. The moments in the life he talks about are surreal, truly presented, full of humour and unsparing. The touring biker succeeds in facing the upsetting experiences in his past and momentary life relentlessly during the five-day tour and thereby summoning new strength for his further life. Three cheers for our hope for a better future!
