die letzten stunden des lebens :: peter alexander hussock
ISBN-13: 9783980406406 - ISBN-10: 3980406407

 

Da ist ein Land der Lebenden und ein Land der Totem, und die Brucke zwischen ibnen is die Liebe -- das einzige Bleibende, der einzige Sinn.

 

Listed it as nonfiction, but not sure as I don't understand german and wouldnt let me leave genre open.   Anyone know?
