Opis

As a sixteen-year-old exchange student, Fritz recei-ved several letters from his English host mother, which Fritz's parents regarded as inappropriate and intrusive, leading to them immediately asking the host mother to abstain from further contact. Fritz, who regards the contact as a friendship, assesses the situation completely differently and, for decades, feels betrayed by his parents.50 years later, the letters fall into his hands again and he is forced to realise that the exchange of such letters could have been inappropriate, even in the 1970's.Using the means of a non-representative survey to include the evaluations of third parties, the author Krause tries to clarify the question of where exactly or even approximately "common sense" draws the line between inappropriateness and harmlessness.

O autorze

Krause, Christoph T. M.Christoph T. M. Krause lebt in Köln, Deutschland. Krause ist seit über 20 Jahren Hundedienstleister und führt ein erfolgreiches Unternehmen. Seit 2020 ist er Buchautor und schreibt Sachbücher, aber auch Romane und Erzählungen. Dabei sind seine Interessen weit gefächert. "Das Schreiben fließt einfach so aus mir heraus, der Gedanke entsteht im Kopf und entwickelt sich beim Schreiben weiter." Ebenso vielseitig wie das Schreiben, ist sein berufliches Portfolio: Vom Lehramtsstudium über eine jahrelange Tätigkeit im Vertrieb einer Computerfirma bis hin zum eigenen Unternehmen im Hundesektor ist einiges dabei. "Schreiben bedeutet für mich, das, was mich unter Umständen Jahre bewegt, endlich einmal festzuhalten und damit den Leser in eine für ihn vielleicht fremde Welt mitzunehmen. Christoph T. M. Krause, lives in Cologne. Krause has been a dog service provider for over 20 years and runs a successful company. Since 2020 he has been a book author and writes non-fiction books, but also novels and stories. His interests are wide-ranging. "The writing just flows out of me, the thought arises in my head and develops as I write." His professional portfolio is just as versatile as writing: from studying for a teacher's degree, to many years of working in the sales department of a computer company, to his own company in the dog sector, there is a lot to be said for it. "For me, writing means finally capturing what may move me for years and taking the reader into a world that might be alien to him.
