Mats is in his mid-twenties and waits for the revolution, while at the same time the newly united Germany is run over by racist brutality. When his last ally leaves the provincial town at the Mosel, Mats joins a small left-orientated publisher's, which sends him on his first journey as a representative without further ado. In his VW bus and with his rucksack he is on his way, selling revolutionary literature by day and hiding refugees at night.
During his 18 years lasting journey, Mats meets teamplayers and egoists, literature enthusiasts and book speculators, tiny and monstrous publisher's. The carousel he once got on curiously, is turning faster and faster until one link breaks.
Such as our bestseller »Die Geheimen Aufzeichnungen des Buchhändlers« by Gérard Otremba (more than 50.000 sold exemplars and in the 19th edition), this book is a friendly, simultaneously vicious declaration of love to the world of books and its protagonists – amusing and sad as life is, as well as a politically current change of perspective.
