Fiction

This captivating German novel is about the biggest and most serious fraud in human history.

What is most notable about this scam is that the victims particularly adore the cheater, and even consider him to be the greatest saint.

As early as the age of four, Anto Krajina tended a tiny flock of sheep and goats. From the very start, his parents encouraged their children to learn foreign languages and awakened in them an interest in all kinds of intellectual activities. Since his earliest childhood, Anto Krajina has been a keen scholar of several important languages and a student of sciences as well as medicine, philosophy and mythology – always with the same zeal and the same goal: to grasp the essence of the human being and thus, of the universe. Anto Krajina has taught philosophy at Swiss schools and lives in Zurich.

A good story should both please and instruct at the same time. It should be long enough to accommodate stimulating content, but never so long as to challenge the reader's ability to concentrate.

Reading each of the 15 narratives in this first volume – two more volumes are planned – offers the reader a fascinating excursion into a hidden realm of human existence. Sometimes the trip is a wild, dizzying roller coaster ride, sometimes a journey in a vehicle of calm and silence.

After reading a narrative one has the irresistible need to remain silent for a while. One is simply speechless. It is therefore advisable not to read more than one story in a day, but instead to try to think about the content of what has been read.

This is an English translation of the German novel Der Vertrag (i.e. The Contract).

People who are afraid of life and of clear reasoning should not read The Contract.

However, those who are looking for satisfactory answers to the most delicate questions that life poses should certainly read this book.

Our history is full of tragic events and strange ideas in politics, science, religion, art and in every other sector of human existence. The consequence of that fact is that people have become completely insensitive – they can hardly be surprised, let alone shocked, by anything anymore.

The Contract is a vividly imagined novel that puts the whole of humankind before a large mirror and demands that it wakes with a start, that each of its members may shudder at the sight of itself.
