Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - When Alexander receives a cryptic letter inviting him to attend an unspecified course of instruction, he feels somehow compelled to go. From that moment on, his world will change, and all of his former certainties will be called into question. When he arrives at the institution in the small provincial town, no one is able - or willing - to tell him anything about the course, and life there seems slightly out of focus and eerily ambiguous. As Alexander struggles to understand the strange situation in which he has landed, he gradually finds himself in a bizarre and surreal nightmare from which there may be no escape .
