Book premiere "Mensch Warnemünde! Tales"
"MENSCH WARNEMÜNDE!" is all about the popular place to live and vacation on the Baltic Sea, especially about the people who make up Warnemünde.
They are fictional miniatures, often set against a real background. Sometimes Nordic and rough, sometimes mysterious, sometimes grotesque or tragic, sometimes subtly funny. Just like life and just like the people by the sea.
The frames of the stories reveal what readers can expect:
An unbelievable incident, a pitch-black episode, a thought-provoking moment, a final message, moments in life, a saga that isn't one, longing & visions, story(s) dreamed ahead, the Tidigsbringer, the witch's stone, the inscription, Captain Stiltfoot, the philosopher ...
In some of the 20 stories, the author clears up misconceptions and tells us his version.
Sund will also be presenting a second book at the event: "Hiddensee. The second gold". He never wanted to write a crime novel. The Hiddensee booksellers motivated him. Why did he get involved? Sund thinks because the story of Hiddensee's gold jewelry is still being told incorrectly in parts and, on the other hand, because logic remains on the trail in many island crime novels, too many police officers, too many current island deaths ...
The greed for gold is unbroken. The protagonist of the book, the writer Mads Bodden, who actually only wants to give a reading for holidaymakers on Hiddensee and present his latest collection of stories, is also forced to realize this. His theories about the famous Viking gold and Hiddensee gold jewelry attract more than just curious tourists.
The author soon finds himself caught up in a maelstrom of blackmail, murder and violence ...
