    About this ebook

    „This book is a seperate poetical entity, which unfolded itself while resisting a mere transliteration from the German "Der Ruf".
    Respecting the autonomy of every language, however universal in its lineage and heritage meant giving in to its inner tension and beauty“.

    David Boventer

    David Boventer will nicht an der ewigen Wiederholung der menschlichen Fehler verzweifeln. Lösungen findet er gemeinsam mit Raphael. Die Musik könnte eine wahrhaft historische und zugleich zukünftige Antwort sein, die alle Seiten des Menschlichen in der Empathie vereint.
