Dies ist die Geschichte eines Mannes um die dreißig, der auf dem Weg aus der westdeutschen Provinz in die Szene-Quartiere der Hauptstadt wenig tut, aber viel mitmacht.

Keine Arbeit sowieso, dafür ab und zu Altbau-Parties, bei denen auch schon mal jemand vom Dach fällt.

Nobelpreisträger William Butler Yeats schrieb berührende Liebeslyrik, er beschwor die keltische Dämmerung und ein mythisches Byzanz.

Hanns Zischler, Bibiana Beglau, August Diehl u. a. bringen deren Zauber in den deutschen Übersetzungen neu zum Klingen.

In essayistischen Porträts geht er auf eine Reise durch 2400 Jahre abendländische Philosophiegeschichte und zeigt anhand der Leben und Werke von Sokrates, Epikur, Seneca, Montaigne, Schopenhauer und Nietzsche wie ein etwas anderer - nämlich philosophischer - Blick auf die Welt das Leben erträglicher machen kann.
