For Polina – Takis Würger tells the love story of the year
with Anne Burgmer Takis Würger
“Takis Würger is surely one of the most important writers of our generation”, says Joël Dicker, praising Würger’s literary works (“The Club”, “Stella”). Following the success of his previous novels comes For Polina. Würger tells the tender story of 14-year-old Hannes Prager and his great love. To prove his affection, the boy composes a melody that captures all the facets of Polina’s being. Soon after, he loses his mother. Following her sudden death, Hannes’ passion for music fades, and he also loses touch with Polina. He is overcome by an emptiness that stays with him for years – and the only thing that might help is finding his childhood sweetheart. But to do that, he needs to reawaken the long-silent melody. Takis Würger writes beautifully and tragically about the delicate sound of yearning. Host: Anne Burgmer
