Michael Kleeberg - Achilles in Taormina

Description

Ernest Hemingway: Daredevil, Charmer, Bonvivant. Definitely a legend. And at the same time a driven individual who always had to prove himself, demanding everything from himself and others.
With a clever twist, Michael Kleeberg explores the life of his larger-than-life colleague – and creates his own identity: as a Hemingway researcher with body and soul. What makes a boy a man? What makes a man a writer? And what turns a writer into an icon? – These questions drive the hero of the novel in search of Hemingway's "last secret". An exciting game of reality and fiction. Michael Kleeberg studied Political Science, History, and Visual Communication and worked as a journalist, nurse, and dockworker during that time. He lived twelve years in Paris, and through the writer exchange Westöstlicher Diwan, he had numerous stays in the Middle East. He received the Konrad Adenauer Foundation Literature Prize in 2016 for his entire body of work.
