Book Overview

The Stolen Pocket Watch

What does a pocket watch stolen by an organized gang of children in New York harbor in 1895 have to do with Louis Armstrong? What does it have to do with the murder of a French couple and with a Jewish doctor in Hamburg? What connection does it have with the nightmares of a young farmer in Bavaria? What does it have to do with the burglar Karl Prommer in Stuttgart? And how does it end up in the southern Styrian village of St. Veit am Vogau in 1998? It is an incredibly fascinating, fast-paced and sometimes very touching story of people who come into the possession of this stolen pocket watch over a period of more than 120 years. At the same time, the reader realizes that the concept of time has taken on a different meaning in the course of history. Gerhard von Leonstein once again knows how to capture his readers and draws pictures with his words, as if the reader himself was in the middle of the story.
