What my son should know about the structure of this world
9.99 €
Fredrik Backman started writing about the joys of fatherhood on his blog - and then used those notes for a book he called "The Handbook for Crooked Parents". He started working on it after he sent the manuscript of "The Second Life of Uwe" to publishers so he wouldn't waste any time. And when he was contacted by people from Forum Publishing, Fredrik said he had another book ready to publish. But he heard an emphatic "No" - and this answer did not suit him at all. Eventually the publishers relented, and the book entitled "What my son should know about the way the world works" was published at the same time as Uwe.
Addressing his young son, Bachmann discusses a variety of things - from soccer to Ikea, from computer games to the categories of good and evil. And along the way shares the first, sometimes comical, experience of fatherhood - with that unique purely Bachmann's mixture of irony and tenderness, which brought him the love of millions of readers. This is not only a conversation on equal terms with a tiny creature, which still has to grow into a person, but also an honest conversation with himself, an attempt to realize his responsibility for what is happening in the world.
