Das Geschenk: Roman

Following "Trophy," Gaea Schoeters' new novel explores the unavoidable global questions from a European perspective. Elephants are everywhere in the city, and their numbers are growing. What's going on? The German Chancellor quickly realizes that the animals haven't escaped from the zoo, but are a gift from the President of Botswana. He sent 20,000 elephants to Germany after the German government imposed an import ban on hunting trophies, thereby depriving the poorest regions of Botswana of their livelihood. "You Europeans want to tell us how to live. Perhaps you should try it yourselves sometime..." After her sensational success with "Trophy," Gaea Schoeters approaches the existential themes of global coexistence from a different angle—and with razor-sharp humor. A new reading and thought-provoking experience!
