Produktbeschreibung

Why you shouldn't open this book? Because it sticks to your hands after a few chapters! Imagine reading a novel that is so incredible that it feels like a film - but every word is true! In DON'T ASK FOR SUGAR, the European Christoph tells in amusing short stories, which interlock like the cogs of a mechanical clock, of true love, crime, betrayal and espionage. Learn about his dearly paid missteps in the murderous Australian desert and about his fantastic travels in Asia, feel the crushing poverty of India at first hand, hike with Christoph up into Nepal's mountains to tantalising marijuana fields, - and accompany him afterwards, after a stopover in Moscow, through a border crossing into Russian-occupied East Germany, which will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page! But what happened last in HOW IT ALL BEGINS, the first book in the series?

WEST AUSTRALIA, LATE NOVEMBER 1985. Like a giant frying pan, the sun broils over the megacity of Perth, where Suzanne is modelling for art students at the university, while Christoph, who adores his Suzanne and has no work permit, lays glowing hot bricks in the blazing sun. Just among themselves, their hormones are also boiling until their patience snaps after months of quarrelling with their jealous main tenant Janet. Their new landlady Kelly big heart, small garden, eight emaciated chickens and a shaggy Austrian who grows marijuana in the outback is happy to have company and feeds them with her home-baked biscuits. One day, Suzanne learns from a friend that a fortune teller with extraordinary psychic abilities is appearing in Fremantle's little chapel, to which anyone interested in spirituality is cordially invited. Now the time has come, the two are sitting at the very back of the small chapel and it's their turn.

"I welcome two new guests into our midst today," says the seer, holding Suzanne's hands. "I see your future clearly," she says so loudly that it echoes in the chapel. "Great changes are in store for you. Soon you will live even further south, bear a son and pursue an ancient labour." The seer knew more than either of them, but as she holds Christoph's hands, her arms suddenly tremble. "Oh my God!" she exclaims in horror, "I see dark powers and sinister demons!" A murmur goes through the rows. "In a distant place, you will be put to a severe test," the seer continues, "only God can save your soul, be vigilant and pray!"

Everyone turns round, and although Christoph is determined not to believe in such hoaxes, he suddenly feels like a bad person. Is Christoph possessed by evil spirits? Cold sweat runs down his forehead.

"Chris, you're worrying me!"

"Don't worry, Suzanne, I don't hear any evil voices yet." The event dissolved in the blink of an eye, the two drive to the marketplace with mixed feelings and shovel the fruit and vegetables already sorted out by the farmers into their car boot.

Autorenporträt

Bernhard Christoph Lichtinger was born into a family of doctors in Stuttgart (southern Germany) on July 21, 1961, the fifth of six sons. The author, family man, craftsman, autodidact, inventor and entrepreneur attended one kindergarten, 10 schools, countless countries and 2 East German prisons. Released to Baden-Württemberg after 341 days of miserable food (on Friday, November 13, 1987), Christoph taught himself computer-aided drawing. He first freelanced for the IBM chip factory and then for the sports car fanatic architect Bernd Frank. After he managed to finance his parents' property, Christoph founded his own residential construction company in 1995, which was hit hard by the global financial crisis 13 years later (2008), whereupon he lost everything except the old villa that belonged to him and his second great love Dorothee. After his divorce, Christoph found his first great love Suzanne on the internet and flew to New Zealand to meet her in August 2015. And yes, it is true love! Six months later, Christoph has a little more time again and begins to write down his story ...

By now nine years in New Zealand, the last six years Christoph slept, worked and cooked in his camper, he closed his book again at the end of September 2024 to fly towards his two sons Adrian and Leon with his dog Rosie. Somewhere between the South and North Poles, he wants to write the next chapters of his stories because he was abandoned by all evil spirits after his release from the East German labour camp and is now only afraid of overflowing letterboxes.
